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.”
