Fat freezing machines have become quite popular for body sculpting, with many beauty salons, spas, and even hospitals using them. These machines, whether for home or professional use, work by making fat cells die off and aiding in local fat loss.

Unlike liposuction, fat freezing machine doesn't involve surgery or medication. It's a non-invasive method that uses targeted cooling to eliminate fat cells under the skin.

There are various types of fat freezing machines available, including those that suction fat, non-vacuum options, and some that combine fat freezing with cavitation technology. 

What is a Fat Freezing Machine?

Fat freezing is also popularly known as cryolipolysis or cool sculpting. Fat freezing is a professional fat removal procedure for beauty spas, clinics and home use.

It is based on the principle that triglycerides in body fat can be converted to solid form at a low temperature of about 5°C. It is a new cooling technology that uses selective and non-invasive methods to reduce localized, stubborn fat on the body. The Fat Freezer's special sensor locates the selected areas of the body and, combined with vacuum technology, captures the subcutaneous tissue and applies selective cooling to achieve the goal of eliminating fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.

The fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue are rich in fatty acids and are particularly sensitive to low temperature, while the adjacent tissue cells, such as vascular cells, peripheral nerve cells, melanocytes, fibroblasts, or fat with insufficient fat cells, etc., are less sensitive to low temperature, and this ensures that at a specific low temperature (0-10°), the fat cells are inactivated while other tissue cells have no effect.

At this temperature, the cells of the subcutaneous fat tissue are damaged after about 30 minutes.

After the fat reduction treatment, fat will gradually decompose under the influence of low temperature, and the main component of adipocytes, triglycerides, will age prematurely, and fat cells will die one by one to achieve a body sculpting effect.

According to relevant introductions, this method of freezing fat-dissolving weight loss has a good effect on parts with a thicker fat layer and a relatively small area, such as the waist, abdomen and back. Under the action of the fat freezing cryolipolysis machine, the fat cells will gradually die and be dissolved and metabolized within 2-6 weeks, as a result, it will achieve the purpose of weight loss and body shaping.

It is precise, effective, comfortable, permanent and typically 25% less fat in a single session.

How Does it Work?

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis or CoolSculpting, is a non-invasive medical procedure used to reduce localized fat deposits in the body. The technology behind it is based on the principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than surrounding tissue. Here's how a fat freezing machine works:

Cold treatment: The machine uses a special device that's placed on the part of your body you want to lose weight. This device cools your skin, and the cold penetrates the fat underneath.

Freezing the fat: The cold causes the fat cells to freeze or turn into tiny ice crystals. This doesn't hurt your skin or other parts of your body, just the fat cells.

Cell Breakdown: Once the fat cells are frozen, they begin to break down naturally. It's like they're programmed to self-destruct.

Body Cleanup: Your body's cleanup crew, your immune system, notices the damaged fat cells and takes them away. Over the course of a few weeks to a few months, your body gets rid of these dead fat cells as waste.

The result: As the fat cells disappear, the treated area becomes slimmer and firmer. It takes some time to see the full results.

To put it simply:

Fat freezing is the use of a non-invasive therapeutic device (namely the fat freezing machine with different cryo handles) to send microwaves (cold temperature) to the area where you want to sculpt, without surgery, using constant temperature control for about 30 minutes to "freeze to death" the fat cells and achieve the effect of removing fat deposits in designated areas. Your main fat removal procedure involves two steps:

1. Freezing the fat to death;

2. Metabolize the "dead fat".

Effectiveness, Safety, or Possible Side Effects of Fat Freezing Machine

If you would like to learn more about the effectiveness, safety, or potential side effects of fat freezing machines, we would be happy to talk about it, as this technology is new to many people.

Effectiveness:

Fat freezing machines can be effective in reducing localized fat deposits in certain areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, and arms. The degree of effectiveness may vary from person to person. Some people may see significant fat reduction, while others may have more modest results.

Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired level of fat reduction, and results typically take several weeks to a few months to become noticeable.

Safety:

Fat freezing is considered a safe procedure when performed by qualified and experienced medical professionals.

It's non-invasive, meaning it doesn't involve surgery or incisions, which reduces the risks associated with surgical procedures.

Unlike some other fat reduction methods, fat freezing doesn't damage the surrounding skin, muscles, or organs because it selectively targets fat cells.

Possible side effects:

1. Common side effects are usually mild and temporary and may include:
2. Numbness or tingling at the treatment site, which usually goes away on its own.
3. Redness, bruising, or swelling that usually disappears within a few days to weeks.
4. Temporary discomfort or tenderness in the treated area.

Serious side effects are rare but may include

• Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia: This is a rare side effect where the fat in the treated area increases rather than decreases. It requires corrective treatment.
• Skin changes: In some cases, the skin over the treated area may become uneven or develop color changes, although this is rare.

It's important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects and optimize results.

The Fat Freezing Machine Revolution

The history of fat freezing machines, also known as cryolipolysis, is relatively recent and can be traced back to the early 2000s. Here's a brief history of how this fat reduction technology came to be:

1. Discovery of the Popsicle Effect: The concept of freezing fat cells for cosmetic purposes is often attributed to an observation known as the "Popsicle Effect". In the late 1960s, two scientists, Dr. Dieter Manstein and Dr. R. Rox Anderson, noticed that children who frequently sucked on popsicles developed dimples in their cheeks due to the freezing of fat cells in that area. This observation planted the seed for further research.
2. Development of cryolipolysis technology: Building on the Popsicle effect, Drs. Manstein and Anderson, along with their colleagues, conducted research on the effects of cold temperatures on fat cells. They discovered that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other tissues and can be selectively targeted and damaged without damaging the skin or surrounding structures.
3. FDA approval and launch: After extensive research and clinical trials, the first fat freezing device, known as CoolSculpting, received FDA clearance in 2010. This marked a significant milestone in the field of non-surgical fat reduction.
4. Commercialization and broader adoption: Following FDA approval, CoolSculpting and similar cryolipolysis devices became available to the public through licensed medical professionals and aesthetic clinics. These devices gained popularity as a non-invasive alternative to surgical liposuction for reducing localized fat deposits.
5. Advances and expansions: Over the years, fat freezing technology has continued to evolve with the development of different applicators and treatment options to target different areas of the body. 
6. Popularity and Ongoing Research: Fat freezing machines have gained widespread recognition and acceptance in the aesthetic industry, with millions of treatments performed worldwide. Researchers continue to study the efficacy, safety, and potential applications of cryolipolysis in various medical and cosmetic contexts.

Today, fat freezing machines are an established and respected method of non-surgical fat reduction, offering individuals a way to contour their bodies without the need for invasive surgery. The history of the technology reflects the pursuit of innovative solutions to meet the demand for non-invasive fat reduction procedures.

Fat Freezing Machine Benefits

With the development of this technology, more and more people want to know what benefits it can bring us. One thing we know for sure is that it has received FDA certification and is absolutely safe for our human body treatment. When discussing its benefits, we are all realistic and will not make up or exaggerate its benefits. In fact, fat freezing machines offer several potential benefits for individuals seeking non-invasive fat reduction and body contouring solutions:

• Non-invasive: Fat freezing is a non-surgical procedure, meaning it doesn't require the incisions, anesthesia, or downtime associated with surgical liposuction. This makes it a more accessible option for people who want to avoid surgery.
• Targeted fat reduction: Fat freezing allows for precise targeting of specific areas with localized fat deposits. It can be used on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, upper arms and chin to reduce stubborn pockets of fat.
• Minimal discomfort: Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some may feel cold, tingling or numbness in the treated area, but these sensations are temporary.
• Quick and Convenient: A typical fat freezing session takes approximately 35-60 minutes per area, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. There is usually no need for extended recovery time or post-treatment care.
• Gradual, natural-looking results: Fat cells are gradually eliminated from the body over several weeks to months, allowing for natural-looking and subtle changes in body contours. This gradual process reduces the risk of noticeable, sudden changes in appearance.
• Minimal side effects: Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, including redness, swelling and numbness at the treatment site. Serious side effects are rare.
• Long-lasting results: Once the targeted fat cells are eliminated, they do not return. However, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent any remaining fat cells from increasing in size.
• Versatility: Fat freezing machines come in a variety of applicator sizes and shapes, allowing the treatment to be customized based on an individual's body shape and specific needs.
• Confidence Boost: Achieving desired fat reduction and body contouring goals can boost self-confidence and body image, leading to improved overall well-being.
• Safe and FDA Approved: Many fat freezing devices are FDA cleared, meaning they have undergone rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness.

Precautions for Fat Freezing Machine

• The temperature of the handle of the fat freezing cryolipolysis machine should be carefully controlled. Fat cells are less tolerant of low temperatures and are less tolerant than skin. Therefore, 5 degrees Celsius will kill fat cells, but it will not cause much damage to the skin. However, if the temperature is below 5°C, the skin is susceptible to damage. Therefore, the temperature of the fat freezing body sculpting cryo handpiece in direct contact with the skin must be controlled to avoid excessively low temperatures.
• Clients with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal myoglobinuria should not undergo fat freezing body sculpting and should be sure to confirm all medical conditions, including recent surgery and any known allergies prior to treatment.
• It is best for women to avoid special periods such as menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation. It is not advisable to undergo liposuction during these periods, especially the treatment of the abdomen, which can easily aggravate the cold in the uterus.
• People with liver insufficiency should not be treated by cryolipolysis coolsculpting treatment. Because cryo-sculpting is through the metabolism of the human body, a large number of necrotic fat cells will be excreted. Therefore, it will cause a burden on the metabolic organ, the liver.
• In order to prevent the rebound after the cryo slimming fat removal procedure, it is necessary to control the diet after the treatment. Also pay attention to regular exercise. Because the fat freezing machine only reduces the number of fat cells in the body, it does not have the ability to increase metabolism, and it cannot metabolize more calories.

Fat Freezing Machine Treat Areas?

In adulthood, the number of fat cells is basically fixed, and the size of fat cells changes for a person's fat and thin. Whether it is exercise or dieting to lose weight, the main principle is that energy intake is less than energy expenditure.

Body fat is one of the energy reserves, and the fat fluid in fat cells is consumed. These weight loss methods can only shrink the fat cells as much as possible, and the cells themselves still exist, but cannot reduce the number of cells. Therefore, the success rate of weight loss is low, and it is difficult and easy to rebound.

Obesity in humans is caused by an excessive number of fat cells or excessive expansion. The fat cell is widely distributed in the subcutaneous and visceral tissues. The number of human fat cells is fixed after puberty, and the fat cells that cause obesity will not increase or decrease once they are formed.

The fat freezing machine is one of the best methods for fat reduction without rebound, you can use it for body sculpting wherever you want. The biggest advantage of fat freezing is that it can shape your body.

Chin, arms, abdomen, flanks, waist, back (where underwear is worn), accessory breasts, inner thighs, outer thighs, lower buttocks, back, male chest, and chest fat. These are the most commonly treated areas.

Operation Procedure Steps of Fat Freezing Machine

A standard procedure for fat freezing includes

1. Cleansing the skin prior to treatment;
2. Applying an anti-freezing membrane during the treatment;
3. Cleaning the skin after the treatment.

Fat freezing cold slimming is especially suitable for patients with localized obesity to reduce localized concentrated fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, waist, arms and buttocks. Depending on the thickness of the fat and the desired effect, it generally requires 1 to 3 treatments (wait at least 30 days between two treatments). Wait at least 30 days between treatments).

The cryo machine for fat freezing procedures safely and effectively eliminates stubborn fat without surgery or downtime.

This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure that uses controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. Cool Sculpting results are proven, noticeable and long-lasting, so you'll look and feel great from every angle.

The 360° fat freezing machine intelligently targets fat cells while causing no damage to surrounding areas. Fat freezing works by inducing cell apoptosis (fat cell death) at very low temperatures.

Over the next 2 to 3 months, the body will metabolize these frozen fat cells and naturally remove them from the body.

Up to 25% fat cell reduction can be achieved in 1 session. The treatment can be repeated in 4 to 6 weeks for even better results!

The detailed treatment steps are as follows

1. First, you need to do a physical test to determine your physical condition and check the areas of fat.
2. After identifying the area to be treated, mark the treatment areas.
3. In the treatment area, according to the size of different areas, stick a corresponding size of anti-freezing membrane to prevent frostbite.
4. To start the treatment, place the cryo handpiece on the appropriate area, the treatment area will be immediately sucked into the handpiece, and the cryotherapy will start.
5. You need to get used to it in the beginning. It is easy to feel a tingling sensation in the first few minutes, and the pain disappears after a while, and the whole treatment process becomes more comfortable.
6. After 30-45 minutes of cryotherapy, the treatment is finished.
7. Apply a relaxing massage to the treated area for 3-5 minutes.

A single session of cryolipolysis can kill 20% to 30% of the fat cells in the target area. Over time, apoptotic fat cells can be eliminated from the body through metabolism, resulting in a healthier and more beautiful body curve.

The times of the treatments:

Generally, 1-3 times are required with a minimum interval of 30 days between each time. The total duration of each treatment is within 30-45 minutes, depending on the cooling site.

The healing sensations:

You will experience a slight sucking sensation when the probe is attached to your body, a pulling sensation and a slight freezing sensation may be felt at the treatment site where the device is inhaled during the first few minutes of treatment, and a feeling of pain. These uncomfortable sensations will diminish over time as the treatment progresses and the treatment area is cooled and painless.

Temporary numbness may also occur in the treated area for one week after the procedure. The doctor will then massage the treated area to break down the treated fat cells and increase fat loss.

Types of Fat Freezing Machine

There are several types of fat freezing machines, each with its own brand and features. These machines are designed for cryolipolysis, a non-invasive fat reduction procedure that freezes and destroys fat cells in targeted areas of the body. Here are some popular types and brands of fat freezing machines:

• CoolSculpting: CoolSculpting is one of the most well-known and widely used fat freezing machines. It was one of the first to receive FDA clearance for cryolipolysis treatments and is available in various applicator sizes to target different body areas.
• Clatuu: Clatuu is another popular brand of fat freezing machines. It offers different models, including Clatuu Alpha and Clatuu 360, each with its own set of features and applicators for customizable treatments.
• SculpSure: SculpSure is a different approach to non-invasive fat reduction. It uses laser technology to heat and destroy fat cells. While not a traditional "fat freezing" method, it achieves similar results by permanently reducing fat in treated areas.
• Zeltiq: Zeltiq is the original developer of the CoolSculpting technology. While the brand Zeltiq is less common than CoolSculpting, it's associated with the same cryolipolysis technology.

You can see from these types that their underlying technical principles are the same, which is fat freezing technology. The probe is used to target the area to be treated to freeze the fat cells in the treatment area. After treatment, the body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells, resulting in a reduction of up to 20-25% of stubborn fat in the treated area. How do they differ?

The main difference is in the probe design. Let's talk about the types of freezing devices on the market from a different perspective.

The first type: is a two-piece fat freezing machine, which we call "Vacuum Non 360 Fat Freezing Machine". Its characteristic is that only two sides of the handle are equipped with freezing technology. It is divided into two versions. The first suction cup material is hard, the problem caused by high quality plastic is that it easily scratches the skin and leaks easily, so it cannot be absorbed into the part we want to treat, which will inevitably affect the final treatment effect. The second version is made of soft silicone material, which ensures that it has sufficient suction without damaging the skin, and the treatment effect is significantly improved compared to the first version.

 VERSION 1

 VERSION 2

The second type is 360-degree freezing. It is equipped with freezing technology on all sides, which can ensure that the stubborn fat in the treatment area is completely destroyed, thus achieving the best treatment effect. And this type of device is also equipped with other beauty technologies such as cavitation, radio frequency and lipo laser. Its main advantage is that it can significantly improve the treatment effect to the maximum extent and with the highest cost-effectiveness.

The third type is flat freezing, which we call "Non-vacuum Fat Freezing Machine". They use freezing technology to apply flat on the treatment area for cryolipolysis. But it only works on one side and cannot achieve 360-degree freezing. Another problem is that it must be used with tapes. Anyone who has used this device must know that using a band on soft fat is extremely uncomfortable.

The fourth type is the multi-head freezer, represented by the Clatuu Alpha. Their main advantage is that each part is equipped with a corresponding freezing head, so they can treat most parts. As advertised, there are Wing Mini heads for the treatment of double chin, axilla, knees, and Flat Mini heads for the treatment of double chin, axilla, and knees. The Wing head corresponds to the treatment of the abdomen, flanks and love handles. The Flat head corresponds to the treatment of abdomen, arms, inner thighs. The Wing Plus head corresponds to the treatment of the bra line, flans, love handles, lower buttocks. The Arc-T head is for the treatment of the outer and inner thighs. The Flat Mini head is used to treat the double chin, axilla and knees. The Wing Max head is for treating the abdomen. These are also 360 freezing equipment.

Our first recommendation is the second type "360 fat freezing machine. Because it has something more special that we want to introduce:

1. Independent power supply and separate control operation system, more stable and safe operation and lower energy consumption;

2. The freezing handle can be connected arbitrarily without being restricted by the 1-to-1 socket. It adopts the breathing light visual method and the system actively identifies it. It also has the function of replacement and access while the power is on;

3. The freezing handle is made of soft silicone material and equipped with 7 interchangeable sizes. It can be replaced according to different parts during operation, making the operation experience more comfortable;

4. The instrument system adopts four channels and four controls, which can work simultaneously; independent control ensures more convenient, safe and effective operation;

5. The internal contact surface of the freezing handle is cooled at 360 degrees, and the operating parts are completely covered, giving better effect;

6. The freezing handle has dual effect modes of cooling and heating, and can be set and used independently;

7. The operation parameters adopt the system ladder setting mode, and the operation cycle is set step by step;

8. The cooling system combines air cooling and water cooling systems to ensure continuous and uninterrupted operation;

9. The freezing handle has real-time environmental dynamic temperature control monitoring and automatic constant temperature adjustment;

10. The water circulation adopts a dual-circuit series connection method, and the work can be automatically stopped when abnormal work is triggered;

Before and After

Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the fat freezing machine reliable?

Reliable, reliable in principle, reliable in machine.

2) Can I do it?

This project of positioning and shaping is really not for whole body fat reduction. The special envoy is suitable for body shaping, such as a double chin, false hip width, butterfly sleeves, thick ankles, auxiliary breasts, small bellies, etc.. It is very suitable and the effect is immediate.

3) Does it hurt?

It doesn't hurt! It didn't hurt during the process, but it has a little kind of numb, dull pain. However, it only hurts when I press it and I don't feel any pain when I sleep on my side. This sensation disappears after about three days.

The process of cryolipolysis does not cause any pain, but due to the effect of the vacuum, you will feel a slight pulling force and a strong local cold at the treatment site. This sensation occurs mainly at the beginning of the treatment. You can return to normal activities immediately after the treatment without any discomfort. After the treatment, there is usually some redness and numbness in the treatment area, which usually disappears within a few hours after the procedure.

4) What are the side effects of fat freezing?

As a non-invasive procedure, fat freezing is relatively safe. Typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, cramping, pain, itching, or skin irritation, but rare side effects such as swelling of the treated area requiring surgical correction may occur. Redness of the treated area and localized bruising usually disappear within a few hours.

These include:

1. Tingling sensation
2. Tenderness
3. Cooling sensation
4. Redness
5. Swelling
6. Blood congestion
7. Tenderness
8. Soreness
9. Cramp
10. Skin sensitivity

5) Who is suitable for fat freezing treatment?

It is gentle, safe, non-invasive, has no recovery time, and is suitable for most people who want to lose localized, stubborn fat. Most people are good candidates for CoolSculpting. Freezing fat is more appropriate for those who are closer to their ideal or normal weight, but the therapist must also have a certain amount of fat to treat. We use different applicators for different body types, different amounts of fat, and different sizes of treatment areas.

It is more suitable for some people who want to shape their body. For example, the fat on the waist and abdomen is more difficult to eliminate excess fat, and the treatment effect of this device will be quite good.

6) Can I go back to normal activities after the treatment?

Yes, the fat freezing process is completely non-surgical, so you can usually return to normal activities right away. You may experience some redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but these are temporary.

This is because this machine "sucks in" some of the flesh and freezes it, just like cupping, but this is ice. So it's really like pulling a cup, you can go shopping with your clothes on.

It should be noted that for one month after the treatment you cannot take antibiotics, go to sauna or drink alcohol.

7) How effective is the freezing of fat cells?

Generally speaking, the effect of cryolipolysis is relatively slow, but the cryolipolysis device selectively and controllably cools fat cells, which can significantly reduce adipose tissue naturally, avoiding invasive hazards similar to liposuction and the risk of damage to adjacent tissues by radiofrequency, focused ultrasound or laser. Cryolipolysis can be called "non-invasive".

It takes 1-3 months for the fat to be metabolized. The effect starts to show gradually in about 1 month. It can be very effective in reducing subcutaneous fat.

Weight maintenance must be maintained through proper diet and exercise after this treatment. This will prolong the effectiveness of the improvement. After your fat freezing treatment, your body usually takes about 8 to 12 weeks to process the apoptotic fat cells.

After about four weeks, many people will notice a change. Most people will see their ideal body shape change after about 12 weeks.

8) Can the treatment be repeated?

Yes, you can. Typically, a single treatment can shrink the target area by about 20-25%. Full results usually take two to three months because it takes a long time for your body to naturally remove all the crystallized fat cells.

For the same area, two treatments should be separated by 4 to 6 weeks.

9) How much can be reduced?

A quarter of the fat in the designated area, the circumference depends on the individual's metabolism and area.

10) Can it be done on any part of the body?

Basically it can be done. We don't know what your specific needs are. Most parts are fine anyway.

11) Are the results permanent?

It directly reduces the number of fat cells, and the number of direct return cells will not be regenerated.

12) Will the cold freezing of fat be painful?

Fat freezing is usually not painful. For the first few minutes of the treatment, you will feel pressure and cooling, then the skin will become numb and all sensations will disappear.

You can usually return to your daily life, work and various activities immediately. Some may experience some redness, minor bruising or numbness, but this is temporary and will disappear in two to three days.

13) How much does fat freezing cost?

The cost of fat freezing treatment is not fixed, it depends on the treatment areas and the treatment time and sessions. It varies from $2000 to $4000. The cost of fat freezing treatment in a spa or hospital is high, we highly recommend buying one for daily use at home, each fat freezing machine on our website comes with a detailed instruction manual.
