Love Handle Fat Freezing • Brighton & Hove

Love Handle Fat Freezing

Advanced, non-surgical body contouring designed to reduce stubborn “muffin top” fat that often resists diet and exercise — delivered with care, professionalism and realistic expectations.

Targeted fat reduction for the “muffin top” area

Love handles are a common treatment area because fat can sit locally around the waist even when the rest of the body feels in proportion. Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) targets this localised fat to support smoother contours.

The treatment uses controlled cooling to target fat cells without damaging skin or muscle. Over the following weeks, the body gradually processes the treated fat cells naturally.

Non-invasive

No surgery, no needles. Most clients return to normal activity straight away.

Targeted

Designed for stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Gradual results

Many clients notice changes from 4–6 weeks; full results often 8–12 weeks.

Clinician-led

Suitability, applicator fit and planning are confirmed in consultation.

Fat freezing is not a weight-loss treatment. It is designed for localised fat reduction and body contouring.

What to expect

Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess the area, discuss goals and confirm suitability. If appropriate, we position the applicator securely and begin controlled cooling.

Most clients feel intense cold for the first few minutes, which typically settles as the area becomes numb. You can relax during the session.

Results timeline

Because results depend on the body’s natural processes, changes are gradual. Many clients start noticing changes from around 4–6 weeks, with full results typically visible after 8–12 weeks.

“The goal is a natural-looking improvement in contour — a smoother waistline and more balanced silhouette.”

Outcomes vary by person and are discussed during your consultation.
