Fat Freezing Pre & Post Treatment Care

Fat Freezing (Cry lipolysis) at Body Sculpting Clinics is a clinically proven, non-surgical treatment that permanently destroys stubborn fat cells using controlled cooling technology. It is performed using the TGA-registered Cristal® Cryolipolysis System (ARTG No. 294583). Fat cells are cooled to a precise temperature, crystallising and dying, then naturally eliminated by the body over 6–12 weeks. No surgery, no needles, no downtime.

Correct preparation ensures the treatment area is in optimal condition to receive the Cristal® applicator safely and effectively. It also reduces the risk of contraindications — such as active skin conditions, sunburn, or metal implants — that may require your session to be rescheduled.

How to Prepare for Fat Freezing — Pre-Treatment Care

  • Avoid heavy meals or high-fat foods for at least 1 hour before your appointment
  • Avoid caffeine for 2 hours prior to your session
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment
  • Avoid laser or energy-based treatments on the area for 2 weeks prior
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure for 48 hours before — sunburnt skin cannot be treated
  • Do not apply moisturisers, oils or creams to the treatment area on the day
  • Inform your practitioner of any blood-thinning or skin-thinning medications
  • Advise your practitioner if you have any metal implants near the treatment area — contraindication
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment
  • Drink at least 2 litres of water daily in the days leading up to treatment
  • If skin is broken, irritated or inflamed, postpone until fully healed.

After Your Fat Freezing — Post-Treatment Care

  • Drink at least 2–3 litres of water daily for the first week to support lymphatic elimination of treated fat cells
  • Avoid heavy meals and high-fat foods for at least 1 hour after your session
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment
  • Avoid caffeine for 2 hours after your session
  • Refrain from waxing the treated area for 3–5 days
  • Avoid laser or energy-based treatments on the area for 2 weeks
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours following treatment
  • Avoid massage, steam rooms, hot baths and saunas for 24 hours
  • Protect the treated area from sunburn for 2 weeks
  • Mild redness, temporary numbness or bruising is normal — resolves within a few days
  • A follow-up review is recommended at 12 weeks to assess your results

Fat Freezing Before & After

What to Expect During Recovery

Fat Freezing is a walk-in, walk-out treatment with minimal to no downtime. Most clients return to normal daily activities immediately after their session.

First 24 hours: you may notice temporary redness, mild swelling or a numb sensation in the treated area — a normal response to the controlled cooling. Days 1–7: some tenderness or sensitivity may be present. From weeks 4–6: as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system, visible results begin to emerge. Optimal results are typically seen at 12 weeks post-treatment.

No needles. No downtime. Just long-lasting fat reduction.

Maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise to preserve results — treated cells are gone permanently, but remaining cells can expand with weight gain

Stay well hydrated daily to actively support lymphatic elimination of treated fat cells

Consider combining with LIPOSCULPT™ Body HIFU for simultaneous fat reduction and skin tightening

Add EMBODY™ Ab Sculpt or Gluteal Sculpt to build muscle definition as fat reduces

Attend your recommended follow-up — most areas benefit from 1–2 sessions for optimal reduction

Fat Freezing pairs powerfully with LIPOSCULPT™ Body HIFU (adds skin tightening to fat reduction) and EMBODY™ Muscle Sculpting (builds definition beneath the treated area). Many clients use Fat Freezing as the first step in a comprehensive body sculpting plan at Body Sculpting Clinics.

Each treatment area takes approximately 35 minutes. Our dual-applicator Cristal® system can treat two areas simultaneously in a single visit, making your time in the clinic as efficient as possible.

Results develop progressively. Most clients notice visible improvements from 4–6 weeks, with optimal results typically seen at 12 weeks post-session.

Yes. Once destroyed through cryolipolysis, fat cells are permanently eliminated via the lymphatic system. The treated cells do not return, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle preserves your long-term results.

For the first 24 hours: avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and massage of the treated area. Continue drinking plenty of water.

Fat freezing is best suited for individuals close to their ideal weight (within 5–10kg) with pinchable, stubborn pockets of fat. It is not a weight loss solution. A complimentary consultation confirms your suitability.
