CoolSculpting Treatments in Australia are growing in popularity. Let's take a look at what you can expect from this type of treatment...
Ever wondered why, even when you follow a strict diet or work out like crazy, some parts of your body seem to look the same as before? No matter how much time you spend on the treadmill or how many crunches you do, it looks like the excess fat just won’t go away.
While this is completely normal, a new revolutionary medical procedure on the market has emerged. It aims to address just that by targeting fat at a cellular level, but is non-invasive and non-surgical. This process is called CoolSculpting, or what is known as cryolipolysis. With CoolSculpting, fat cells are frozen to give you a leaner, more defined look. It’s really as simple as that. So, does fat freezing actually work?
What Are the Benefits of Fat Freezing Treatment?
CoolSculpting is Convenient – and Fast!
CoolSculpting is known as one of the most convenient methods for fat removal to date. Surgical liposuction, which is the most commonly known procedure, carries with it a number of risks because of its invasive nature. Unlike surgical liposuction, CoolSculpting requires no downtime or recovery time, and you can see and feel results in as soon as three weeks post-treatment.
Fat Freezing Treatments are Relatively Comfortable.
Unlike most toning and fat removal procedures, CoolSculpting isn’t as painful, as it doesn’t require any amount of surgery. People simply walk in and walk out of the clinic, and go about their normal daily routine. This, however, does not mean that it’s 100% pain-free, as some tugging and pinching may be felt for up to two weeks after the treatment is done. Don’t worry, though. The slight discomfort goes away on its own, and is barely even noticeable. Your CoolSculpting specialist will be able to direct you on post-treatment care.
You Can Target Two Areas at Once with Fat Freezing
Most procedures are targeted at removing fat in just one area of the body, but CoolSculpting allows you to choose more than just one. You can therefore choose to sculpt and get rid of fat on your back and thighs at the same time, or other parts of the body where CoolSculpting is allowed, including the chin area. Just be aware that treatments are typically priced per area, so talk to your specialist to get an idea of different prices for different areas you’re thinking of being treated.

What Can I Expect During a Fat Freezing Treatment?
Right before the treatment, your specialist will be asking questions involving your weight goals, past weight loss methods, and medical history. This is to ensure that the procedure will be completely safe for you, and to determine if you’re likely to achieve your weight loss goals as you undergo CoolSculpting.
Remember, however, that this is only a method for fat removal and freezing, not for large amounts of weight loss. It is therefore advised that you should be getting close to your goal weight when you go through the treatment.
It is not advised that pregnant women go through CoolSculpting treatments. This is also advised for people who suffer from cold-related and other diseases such as hemoglobinuria etc.
During the treatment itself, a cooling device is used to bring the targeted area to freezing temperature, killing any fat cells that may be hidden underneath. As this is done, some people may feel a slight tugging, pulling, or pinching sensation due to the vacuum found on the machine, and the procedure may take up to an hour or two on average.
After the treatment is over, patients usually return to their normal routine, as only minimal tingling is felt in the treatment area at this point – this typically lasts only for a few days and goes away on its own.
Depending on how your body responds to the treatment, results may already be seen after just one session, but two to three treatments per area is recommended for optimum results. Eventually, the frozen fat cells are flushed out of the body, and are eliminated permanently.
What Areas Can I Target with Fat Freezing?
Target areas where CoolSculpting may be conducted include:
- Abdomen
- Under chin area
- Back
- Flanks
- Buttocks
- Hips
- Thighs
Coolsculpting applied to these areas helps to give you a more contoured, naturally sculpted look.

Is Fat Freezing the Right Treatment for Me?
A number of factors may affect your eligibility to the CoolSculpting treatment, or if any other alternative options may be better suited for you. You should undergo an initial consultation with a CoolSculpting specialist to see their advice and potential treatment plan.
If you currently don’t have any medical condition/s that may affect the results and efficacy of fat freezing, as well as your health, then CoolSculpting may be for you. However, you may have to brace yourself if your pain and cold sensitivity and tolerance might also get in the way. These things are going to be discussed during the consultation, so it’s best to follow and listen carefully to what the specialist has to say, and take it from there.
If what you’re looking for is a way to significantly reduce weight, and not just a procedure that could help you remove unwanted fat from different areas of your body, then other methods might be a better way to achieve this.
Why?
CoolSculpting, while giving the appearance of a leaner look, doesn’t substantially affect your overall weight. It does, however, help you to look slimmer and more toned. So this type of treatment is only recommended mostly for people who have already achieved their ideal weight, or are at least close to getting there.
This is also the best solution for those who have stubborn fat stuck in different areas of their body, and can’t get rid of it regardless of how rigorously they work out or how much their calorie deficit may be on a daily basis. The best part about CoolSculpting and fat freezing in general is that it produces permanent results. Once fat is flushed out of your body, it stays away for good (provided you stick to a healthy regime of course!).
So how much does CoolSculpting cost?
Coolsculpting treatments are highly customizable, so there’s never generally any set cost. However, depending on which clinic you decide to have this done and how many sessions you need, you could be looking at around AUD $500+ per cycle. Take note that this already comes with effective and permanent results. Most CoolSculpting clinics generally offer discounts for treatment packages, so keep an eye out for packages and specials.
Finding a CoolSculpting Clinic in Australia
Overall, this revolutionary procedure and method of fat reduction might be the best one yet. Not only is this non-surgical, but fat freezing doesn’t just produce temporary results. In just a matter of weeks, you can change how your body looks with just one session, though it may take up to three sessions for best results. In saying that, no other method has come close to being this convenient, effective, and permanent all at the same time.
