How Fat Freezing Works

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, works by cooling fat cells to a temperature that causes them to break down naturally. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue, allowing targeted treatment without damage to skin or muscle.

Over the weeks following treatment, the body gradually processes and removes the treated fat cells, leading to a reduction in fat thickness in the treated area.

Advanced Fat Freezing Technology

The technology used in cryolipolysis plays an important role in treatment comfort, coverage and outcome consistency.

Diamond Ice 360 fat freezing silicon applicators used at The Blythe Clinic in Brighton & Hove

Diamond Ice 360 silicon applicators designed for comfort and contour fit.

At The Blythe Clinic, treatments are delivered using Diamond ICE 360, a modern cryolipolysis system designed to improve comfort, coverage and consistency compared with earlier-generation fat freezing machines.

The system uses 360° omni-directional cooling large, flexible silicon applicators that adapt naturally to body contours. This allows cooling to be distributed evenly across the treatment area, helping to minimise uneven contact and improve overall comfort and superior, even cooling during treatment.

Diamond ICE 360 can operate at lower treatment temperatures where appropriate, supporting the treatment of stubborn localised fat while maintaining a strong safety profile for suitable candidates. Treatment is always personally carried out by Charles Blythe with many years of professional experience.

Fat Freezing FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about fat freezing (cryolipolysis), including what it is, how it works and what to expect.

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce localised fat by cooling fat cells, which are then naturally processed by the body over time.

Fat freezing works by applying controlled cooling to targeted areas. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue, allowing them to be treated without damaging skin or muscle.

Fat freezing is a well-established treatment when performed on suitable candidates. At The Blythe Clinic, every client has a consultation to confirm suitability and ensure the treatment is appropriate and safe.

Most people experience a cold sensation at the start of treatment, which usually subsides as the area becomes numb. Most people don't experience discomfort.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the treatment area and individual goals. This will be discussed during your consultation.

Many clients begin to notice changes from around 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, with full results typically visible after 8 to 12 weeks.

No. Fat freezing is designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat and is not a weight loss solution. It is most suitable for people close to their target weight.

Common treatment areas include the stomach, love handles, thighs, arms and back. Suitability for each area is assessed during your consultation.
