Looking for a safe, effective way to eliminate stubborn fat without surgery? At Pulse Light Clinic London, we offer FDA-approved CoolSculpting® fat freezing treatments designed to target and reduce unwanted fat cells permanently – with no needles, no downtime and no anaesthetic.

With over 10,000 CoolSculpting procedures performed by our highly trained practitioners, you’re in expert hands.

What Is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?

CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling technology (Cryolipolysis) to freeze and destroy fat cells. Once frozen, your body naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system – permanently reducing fat in the treated area.

It’s a clinically proven alternative to liposuction and ideal for tackling areas that resist diet and exercise.

FAQs

Does CoolSculpting really work?

Coolsculpt is the only FDA approved cryolipolysis treatment on the market. With over 70% reviewed journal articles to back up its efficacy. It’s one of a few fat reduction treatments that can statistically ensure up to 25% reduction in fat in the treated area.

Pulse Light Clinic, chose to work with Coolsculpt due to their proven track record of results, intense practitioner training program, great treatment protocols to ensure even results and client support system. Unlike other competitors, Coolsculpt is a Doctor-led treatment.

How long do CoolSculpting results last?

Results will last indefinitely, once the targeted fat cells are killed through the process of cryolypolysis. They cannot return.
However, consuming more calories than you expend will lead to the production of more fat liquid, which will cause the remaining fat cells to grow in size.

You may find if you gain a substantial amount of weight that other areas will hold more fat than they did previously. Inevitably, the fat needs to go somewhere! They good news is that if you lose the weight gained since your treatment the results will usually be visible.

Typically, clients that maintain their weight will maintain their results permanently!

Is Coolsculpting worth the money?

Compared with the other alternative of surgery, Coolsculpt is in majority of cases the most cost-effective fat reduction treatment. For the average client looking to remove stubborn fat tissue pockets, Coolsculpt will reduce these areas of subcutaneous fat by up to 25% (some clients will achieve much higher).

There is a minimal amount of downtime and no time is usually needed off work to recover. A gentle massage at home and continuing with exercise is all that’s needed.

Surgery (even abroad) will be an expensive alternative, with risks of infection to name but a few, but also recovery time and time off work. Lymphatic drainage massages will be needed frequently for weeks and special garments to be worn post procedure. Scarring is likely, even on minimally invasive treatments. However, for clients looking to remove a very large amount of fat, or substantial weight reduction, surgery may be the best option.

How many treatment do you need for Fat Freezing?

For CoolSculpting | Fat Freezing we recommend 1-4 treatments depending on the client. Most clients see great results after the first treatment.

This will typically be determined at your free consultation on how many treatments you would need.

The senior technician will always give you an estimate and personalised body plan for your problematic area.

Why wait 6-12 Weeks to see Fat Freezing results?

After you CoolSculpting | Fat Freezing procedure, the body naturally disposes of the unwanted dead fat cells.

This takes time as your body is busy processing and breaking down the fat cells through a procedure called Apoptosis - through which enzymes break down the cells into smaller pieces to allow for your white blood cells (macrophages) to remove them from your body permanently and this is why your body needs the time to adjust and reline the fat cells and contour your shape.

How does CoolSculpting | Fat Freezing work?

CoolSculpting uses the fat freezing technology from Allegan trademark of Zeltiq Aesthetics which is the only FDA approved nonsurgical fat reduction machine. Fat-freezing is an effective method of eliminating fat cells without the need for surgery or needles and with no harm done to surrounding tissue and skin.

How much gap is required between CoolSculpting treatments?

Individual treatment sessions in the same area should be scheduled from 4-6 weeks apart.

Is Fat Freezing, CoolSculpting Permanent?

Yes, CoolSculpting is a permanent solution to get rid of stubborn fat cells. The fat cells are crystalised and frozen through CoolSculpting treatment, they are destroyed naturally and gone forever!

Any remaining fat cells can still enlarge over time if weight is put on in the future and can therefore affect results, but typically if you regain the same weight and BMI (Body Mass Index) as treated your results will be visible.

What results can I expect from CoolSculpting?

An average of about 25% fat reduction is seen per treatment, and more than one treatment is recommended to see optimum results.

The final results are fully visible within 6-12 weeks, as the body uses this time to flush away the dead fat cells.

These results are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Am I suitable for CoolSculpting?

The client must have enough pinch able fat in order to fit into the applicator.

We also cater to clients 6 months post liposuction to even out bad surgical procedures leaving pockets of unwanted fat.

Most clients are suitable for CoolSculpting, however, breastfeeding or pregnant clients are not suitable as well as clients suffering from severe Raynaud's disease (if you suffer this hands and feet is more likely you are still suitable for this treatment).

temporary redness
swelling
bruising
skin sensitivity

It's not fully understood of this side effect and further research is required but the fat cells, instead of growing smaller, grow bigger. It's an aesthetic side effect and not a physically dangerous one; however, it doesn't go away on its own.

What not to do after fat freezing?
