Fat Freezing in Singapore: Non-Surgical Fat Reduction
Target Localised Fat Areas with Controlled Cooling Technology.
Some fat deposits can be difficult to reduce despite regular exercise and a balanced diet. Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled cooling to target fat cells beneath the skin. The procedure doesn’t involve surgical incisions or needles, and downtime is generally minimal, depending on the individual and treatment area.

- Minimal Disruption to Daily Routine

About Treatment
Fat freezing is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled cooling to target localised fat deposits beneath the skin. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than surrounding tissues, which allows selected areas to be treated without surgery. The surrounding skin, nerves, and blood vessels aren’t targeted in this process.
During the procedure, the treatment applicator delivers controlled cooling to the targeted area. Over time, the treated fat cells break down and are gradually processed by the body. Results and response to treatment can vary depending on the individual, treatment area and lifestyle factors.

The Procedure: What to Expect During Fat Freezing Treatment
Assessment & Applicator Placement
The treatment area is assessed based on your concerns and suitability for fat freezing. The applicator is then positioned over the targeted area.
Controlled Cooling Process
The applicator delivers controlled cooling to the treatment area. You may feel pulling, pressure, coldness, or numbness during the first few minutes of the session.
Post-Treatment Massage
After the cooling cycle ends, the treated area may be gently massaged. Some individuals experience temporary redness, firmness, sensitivity, or numbness after treatment, which usually improves over time.

Fat freezing is generally considered for people who are close to their target body weight but have specific areas of fat that don’t respond well to diet and exercise. It’s not a weight loss treatment. A consultation with Dr Mendis will help determine whether this procedure suits your individual needs and health profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatment cycles will I need?
The number of treatment cycles depends on the treatment area, the amount of localised fat, and your treatment goals. During the consultation, the treatment plan is assessed based on your individual concerns and suitability.
When can I expect to see changes after fat freezing?
The body gradually processes the treated fat cells over time, so changes usually develop progressively after treatment. The timeline can vary depending on the individual, treatment area and lifestyle factors.
Are the treated fat cells permanent?
Fat freezing reduces treated fat cells in the targeted area. However, weight gain can still affect the remaining fat cells, so maintaining a balanced lifestyle remains important.
Are there side effects after treatment?
Some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tenderness, tingling, or numbness in the treated area after the procedure. Recovery and side effects can vary between individuals.
