Fat Freezing FAQ: 

1. Which fat freezing machine is it? Is it CoolSculpting? 

The fat freeze machine used at Cosmo Medical Spa is the top of the line Cool Shaping 2 which is Korean Food and Drugs Administration (KFDA) approved. Backed with medical studies, the effectiveness can achieve up to 30% fat  reduction with minimal down time.

The fat freezing machines are not CoolSculpting by Zeltiq.

 2. What is “Fat Freeze Cup” ? 

A cup is a placement of the fat freeze applicator. CoolShaping2 can do up to 4 applications in 1 session. Each placement is charged separately.

3. What is the difference in the cups (mini/ regular/ large)? 

We have different sizing for the cups. There is mini, regular size and large size. They are used to treat different areas. You can use a palm size to approximate a regular size cup. Mini is used for underarm fats, knee fats or double chin fats.

4. Which areas can I treat for Fat Freezing? 

5. Is it possible to lose weight with Fat Freezing? 

Please note that Fat Freezing is not a weight loss treatment. Therefore, it is not a treatment for obesity. Moreover, it also does not replace the benefits of and regular exercise and a balanced diet.

6. So how can fat freezing help me? 

It can help with pinch-able localised fat deposits in areas like tummy, love handles, double chin, armpit/ braline fats, knee fats. It’s a localised fat reduction technology.

7. Do I only need Fat freezing to help me look slimmer? 

Fat freezing is one modality of treatment to help you eradicate localised fats. However when the fat deposits are removed, the treated area may be loose and you may need RF Slim Scupt to help you achieve the ideal body contour. Combination treatments are always recommended to achieve the best results.

With Fat freezing, it also uses a suction / vacuum methodology to help the freezing plates treat a larger area. Prolonged suction will also lead to skin laxity, which can be treated with RF SlimSculpt.

Remember, body contouring and fat reduction are totally different treatments!

8. How often do I have to do the treatment? 

For the same treated area, you should do it once a month. If you’d like to do tummy and thighs, you can come in 1 day to do both tummy and thighs or if you are time pressed, you can come in to do tummy today and thighs the next week too.

9. What is a trial? Do I need to sign up for a package? 

Each person is only allowed to enjoy maximum 4 cups trial. Once you have utlized the 4 cups trial, you will not be entitled to the trial price anymore.

Body contouring is a customised program. It is not a one-off treatment. Regular maintenance is still required, thus we advice clients to take a program for better value for money.

However if you do not want to take up the package it is also ok! We do not hardsell and force clients to purchase the package.

You can come back to enjoy the treatment based on Non – Member pricing. PM us to check what is our pricing structure.

10. Is fat freeze painful?  

To a certain extent it is not entirely painless. Again, pain is subjective. Some have high tolerance of pain, some have low. However bruising, soreness, hardening of the treated area for up to 3 weeks is to be expected. If you experience the above, there is no reason to be worried as it is EXPECTED. Even if you don’t experience the above, do not worry too as it does not mean that the treatment “doesn’t work”. Every body is different and has different reaction to treatments.

11. You mentioned your machine can do 4 areas at once, why wasn’t it done in my case? 

It depends on which treated area you are looking to do. If you’d like to treat your tummy area and back of thighs, it is not possible to lie on your tummy to do the fat freeze and do your thighs concurrently. It can be done for example, if you want to treat your inner/ outer thighs and tummy.

12. How will I know how many sessions/ cups I will need?  

Every body has different body shapes and sizes as well as their ideal of how they want to look.
