Cryolipolysis
Freeze Away Stubborn Fat – No Surgery, No Downtime
At Dr Joyce Lim Skin & Laser Clinic, we often hear from patients who are frustrated that, despite living a healthy lifestyle, certain stubborn pockets of fat don’t seem to go away. That’s where cryolipolysis, or fat freezing, comes in as a non-surgical way to subtly shape your body. The best part? It’s done without any incisions, needles, or recovery time.
What It Does
Cryolipolysis works by applying controlled cooling to specific fat cells just beneath your skin. Your skin and muscles stay safe and sound, while the fat cells are frozen and gradually broken down by your body over time since they’re more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissues. The result? A more sculpted and slimmer look in the treated areas.
It’s a great option for targeting areas like:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Back fat and bra bulges
- Double chin
What to Expect
Depending on the area being treated, a typical session lasts between 35 to 60 minutes. At first, you’ll feel a cold sensation, followed by numbness in the surrounding area as the cooling takes effect. Most patients find the experience comfortable enough to read, scroll on their phones, or even take a quick nap.
After the treatment, the area may feel slightly tender or firm. While mild redness or swelling can occur, these effects typically fade within a few days.
When Will I See the Results?
You can expect to start seeing visible changes about three weeks after your treatment, with the most noticeable results appearing two to three months later. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the changes will be gradual but long-lasting, as your body naturally processes and eliminates the fat cells.
Depending on your body goals and the area treated, some patients may benefit from multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
A Personalised Approach
Everybody is unique, just like your goals. That’s why Dr Joyce Lim kicks off every journey with a personalized consultation. She takes the time to assess your body type, listen to your concerns, and craft a treatment plan tailored specifically to your curves and expectations.
Whether you’re aiming for a slimmer waistline or targeting those stubborn areas post-pregnancy, her medical expertise combined with a keen sense of aesthetic balance will guide your plan.
Aftercare Matters
While cryolipolysis typically requires little to no recovery time, aftercare is still important for keeping your results in check. Dr Lim might suggest some light massage in the treated area and gentle movement after your session. Staying hydrated, wearing comfy clothes, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle can also help support your body’s natural fat-elimination process.
