About CoolSculpting & Cool Mini
Developed by Harvard scientists, the unique and clinically proven CoolSculpting procedure involves freezing fat cells without damage to any other cells. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure designed to target and permanently remove those stubborn fat cells from targeted areas of your body. At Radiance, we’ve been conducting CoolScultping treatments since 2011. With more experience than the majority of UK clinics, we know how to get your best results.
The Problem
Our fat cells are laid down at birth and puberty, in a distribution that is usually similar to our parents. Stubborn fat areas are notoriously difficult to get rid of, even with a considerable amount of exercise and strict diets. Regardless of where your body stores its fat, CoolScultping can target this area and help you towards gaining your confidence back.
How It Works
A suction pad is applied to the area and it draws up the fat and skin under a dome shaped metal applicator that extracts heat from the body. Our new updated applicators lower the temperature by a further 1°C to get even better results. Treatments take 30-45 minutes per area.
At the end of the treatment, the pad is removed and the frozen area massaged. The fat cells die from the freezing temperature and are then permanently and naturally eliminated from the body over a 3 month period. Fat reduction is followed by skin tightening on most occasions.
We can combine Emsculpt Neo for extra muscle building especially in the abdominal area and arms. Other skin tightening treatments, such as Exilis Ultra 360, can also be used to get further results.

There are many non-surgical treatments on the market. CoolSculpting differs because:
- It is permanent and actually removes the fat cells
- Other treatments just help reduce the fat within the cells so a weight increase will not give you permanent results
- One single treatment will give results
- It is not dependent on exercise or diet
- The safety profile of the equipment is second to none
Many clients who have had liposuction cannot believe how easy and painless CoolSculpting is in comparison to surgical liposuction.
There is little to no downtime, minimal side effects and the cost is considerably less. Keep your appointment discreet as there is no garments to wear after the treatment and there is minimal discomfort so nobody needs to know!
Please inform us if you have any medical conditions or are on any medication. When you are at your natural weight we can assess your body most accurately and you will achieve the best results. Wear loose clothes to your treatment, bring your tablet/laptop if you wish, but you can watch our smart TV. Bring snacks if you are having multiple treatments on the same day.
The area will feel tender for up to a few weeks and can swell a little. You may get some minor bruising. You would usually be able to go about your normal daily activities straightaway. You will see the results of CoolSculpting’s fat reduction in 1-4 months, we review at 3-4 months. This is a great time for you to see your new shape and you won’t have had the hard work of losing weight. We will reweigh you and take pictures to compare. Usually one to two treatments are needed spaced 2-3 months apart. If you want a second treatment it is done at an even more reduced cost to perfect the results.
Post treatment the area may appear bigger due to swelling for a week or so. Although rare, there is a possibility of bruising. You may also be sore post treatment, and we recommend taking paracetamol or codeine if you need something stronger. This usually lasts up to a week. If we have overlapped the treatment there may be a firm area which will subside within a week or two. You can usually go about your normal activities straight away.
No, the procedure eliminates the fat cells for good!
Before the treatment, your aesthetician will go through and answer any questions you may have. We then take pictures and weigh you, before marking up the areas we are going to treat. Once we are happy we will get you comfortable on the couch.
There is a TV for you to watch and please feel free to bring books, laptops etc. We will bring you drinks, you will need to make sure you have eaten before the treatment and do bring some snacks. Once we are happy with the placing of the applicators and you are comfortable we will start the treatment.
For the first 10 minutes you may find the treatment to be uncomfortable, but after this time the skin has reached its target temperature and will feel numb. The treatment stays on for 35/45/75 minutes (depending on which size we do) Once the treatment is finished, we remove the applicator and massage the area for a 2 minutes. This can be uncomfortable, but doesn’t last long.
After this is done, the treatment is finished and you may experience redness on the area for an hour or so. There is no aftercare apart from we recommend that you keep your diet the same, if you usually have a take away a week, you can continue to have this just don’t have two! Drink plenty of water and if you can massage the area once a day for the following months this may possibly get you better results.
We ask to see you again in 3 months time to assess the area, at the appointment we will take some more pictures to compare to your previous ones and we can decided whether another treatment is necessary.
