What is Cooltech Fat Freezing?

Cooltech offered by Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic is a non-invasive, non-surgical cryolipolysis treatment that freezes subcutaneous fat cells to temperatures between -5 and -7 degrees Celsius, causing them to die and naturally metabolise over 12 weeks.

It offers up to 30-40% fat reduction per session, commonly targeting the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms with no downtime.

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical way to remove stubborn pockets of fat by cooling them until the fat cells die. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than your skin, nerves, or muscles.

When exposed to precise cooling, fat cells crystallise and die through a process called apoptosis - without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Cooltech Fat Freezing

How It Works

A step-by-step breakdown of what happens during and after your Cooltech treatment.

01
The Science: Why Freeze Fat?

Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than your skin, nerves, or muscles. When exposed to precise cooling, fat cells crystallise and die through a process called apoptosis - without damaging any surrounding tissue.

02
The Procedure

Each session is straightforward and comfortable. Soma Laser uses 2 applicators simultaneously, treating two areas in a single visit.

The Grip

A handheld applicator uses a vacuum to pull a bulge of fat into a cooling cup. Two applicators allow two areas to be treated at the same time.

The Chill

The device cools the fat to a precise temperature of -5 to -7 degrees Celsius and holds it there for 45 to 75 minutes.

The Numbness

You may feel intense cold, pulling, or stinging for the first 5 to 10 minutes. The area then goes numb and most clients relax, read, or use their phone for the remainder.

03
The Natural Exit

The fat cells do not disappear instantly. After they die, your lymphatic system gradually processes and flushes them out as waste over the next 2 to 4 months. This is why results appear progressively and peak at around 12 weeks.

04
Key Facts
Target Areas

Best suited for pinchable fat on the belly, love handles, thighs, arms, and under the chin.

Permanent Results

Once flushed out, those fat cells are gone forever. Remaining cells can still grow if you gain weight.

Not for Weight Loss

A contouring tool for those close to their ideal weight, not a solution for obesity.

Best Results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CoolTech fat freezing?

CoolTech is a non-invasive cryolipolysis treatment that freezes fat cells. Over 12 weeks the body naturally metabolises and eliminates the crystallised cells.

Which areas can be treated with fat freezing?

Lower abdomen, upper abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, arms, upper back, lower back, knees and buttocks.

When will I see results after CoolTech?

First visible changes appear at around 15 days. Full results develop by 12 weeks as the body clears the treated fat cells.

Is fat freezing permanent?

The treated fat cells are destroyed and do not return. Remaining fat cells can still grow, so a stable lifestyle helps maintain results.

Is fat freezing the same as weight loss?

No. CoolTech reduces stubborn pockets of fat in a treated area rather than lowering your overall body weight, so it is a body-contouring treatment rather than a weight-loss method. It suits areas of pinchable fat that resist diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, flanks and thighs. The fat cells that are destroyed are permanently removed, but the remaining cells can still expand with weight gain, so a healthy lifestyle keeps your results.

Am I a good candidate for CoolTech fat freezing?

CoolTech suits adults who are close to their target weight and want to reduce specific pockets of pinchable fat rather than lose overall weight. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for anyone with Raynaud's, or liver or kidney disease. A consultation confirms whether it is right for you and which areas to treat.
