What is CoolSculpting?
Fat freezing, also known as CoolSculpting and cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive treatment that targets small areas of fat by freezing fat cells. The idea is simple: cold temperatures destroy the fat cells, and your body gradually removes them over time. It’s often used to treat areas like the belly, thighs, and under the chin.
How it works
- A special device is used to cool down the area of fat you want to reduce.
- The cold temperature freezes and kills the fat cells.
- Over a few weeks, your body naturally gets rid of these dead fat cells, which reduces fat in the treated area.
There’s no surgery involved, and you can go back to your daily routine right after the treatment. However, results aren’t instant. It can take a few months to see the full effect.
Who is cryolipolysis for?
CoolSculpting is designed for people in Reading who are close to their ideal weight but have small areas of fat that just won’t go away. It’s not meant for people who want to lose a lot of weight. It’s more of a cosmetic treatment to fine-tune your body shape if desired.
Benefits of fat freezing in Reading

- Needle-free. Completely needle-free treatment.
- No recovery. No recovery period needed.
- Targeted fat reduction. Can help reduce small, stubborn areas of fat.
Fat freezing vs weight loss injections
If you’re looking to lose a lot of weight or improve your overall health, CoolSculpting might not be the best option. Here’s how CoolSculpting compares to weight loss injections:
CoolSculpting in Reading
- Targets small areas of fat.
- Requires multiple sessions to get noticeable results.
- Doesn’t improve your overall health or help with long-term weight loss.
Weight loss injections
- Help you lose weight all over your body, not just in specific areas.
- Can lead to more significant, long-term weight loss, through the associated education programme.
- Can improve your health by reducing your risk of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
