Does fat freezing really work?
Yes. Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) is TGA-approved, supported by clinical studies, and works by targeting fat cells with controlled cooling. These cells are gradually eliminated through the body’s natural processes.

What does fat freezing feel like?
Clients typically feel cold and mild suction at the start, followed by numbness in the treated area. Most people find the procedure comfortable.

When will I see results?
Visible results may begin to appear within 3–4 weeks, with full outcomes typically observed after 8–12 weeks.

Are the results permanent?
Yes. Fat cells that are removed through cryolipolysis do not regenerate. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will support long-term results.

What are the side effects?
Mild and temporary effects such as redness, swelling, tingling or sensitivity may occur. These usually subside within a few hours to days.

Are there any contraindications?
Fat freezing may not be suitable for individuals with conditions such as hernias, cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or those who are pregnant. Suitability is assessed during consultation.

Can I treat multiple areas in one day?
Yes, multiple areas can often be treated during a single appointment if clinically appropriate.

How far apart should treatments be?
Treatments are generally spaced at least 4 weeks apart to allow time for natural fat clearance.

What should I do before and after treatment?
Before: hydrate well and avoid alcohol.
After: continue hydrating, avoid alcohol for 48 hours, and follow your aftercare plan.

Body Sculpting & FMS (Functional Magnetic Stimulation)

1What is FMS and how does it work?
Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate supramaximal muscle contractions, which are not achievable through voluntary exercise. This supports muscle building and body contouring.

How is FMS different from fat freezing?
Fat freezing targets subcutaneous fat. FMS focuses on muscle toning and strengthening. Used together, they address both fat and muscle layers.

What are the benefits of combining FMS with fat freezing?
Combining the two enhances results by reducing fat volume while improving muscle definition.

Is FMS safe and pain-free?
Yes. FMS is non-invasive, and generally well-tolerated. Clients may feel strong muscle contractions but no pain.

What areas can be treated with FMS?
Common areas include the abdominal muscles, glutes, thighs, arms, and pelvic floor.

How many sessions do I need?
Protocols vary, but typically involve 2 sessions per week for 6-12 weeks, followed by maintenance as needed.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

What is HIFU and how does it work?
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) stimulates collagen production by delivering targeted ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This promotes natural lifting and tightening.

What areas can HIFU treat?
Commonly treated areas include the lower face, jawline, neck, décolletage, and abdomen.

Is HIFU painful?
Some clients experience mild tingling or heat sensations. Discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.

How soon will I see results?
Some clients notice tightening effects immediately. Full results typically appear within 8–12 weeks as collagen production increases.

How long do results last?
Results may last 12–18 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.

Is there any downtime with HIFU?
No. Clients can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment.

Can HIFU be combined with other treatments?
Yes. HIFU may be combined with fat freezing or LED therapy for enhanced contouring and rejuvenation outcomes.

Is HIFU safe?
Yes. HIFU is a well-established, non-invasive treatment with a strong safety record.
