About CoolSculpting & Cool Mini
Developed by Harvard scientists, the unique, patented, clinically proven 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 areas of your body.
The Problem
Our fat cells are laid down at birth and puberty, in a distribution that is usually similar to our parents. Some people have slim legs and even when they put on weight it goes straight to their abdomen not their legs. Other people tend to put weight on in the love handle area.
These stubborn areas of fat are notoriously difficult to get rid of even with a considerable amount of exercise and strict diets. Often it requires you to lose too much weight and it comes off your face as well giving a gaunt look. This is where the saying ”It’s either my face or my bum”, comes from.
How It Works
A suction pad is applied to the area and it draws up the fat and skin between two metal plates that then extracts the heat from the body. Our new updated applicators lower the temperature by a further 1°C to get even better results, with treatments now taking just 30 – 45 mins per area (instead of 1 hour).
At the end of the treatment the pad is removed and the frozen area massaged. The fat cells die due to the freezing and are then permanently and naturally eliminated from the body over a 3 month period.

How much does CoolSculpting cost?
There are many, many non-surgical treatments on the market, often at seemingly low prices. 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 a surgical liposuction.
There is little to no downtime, minimal side effects and the cost is considerably less. The privacy element is always of concern and because there are no garments to wear after the treatment and minimal discomfort nobody need know.
We can treat double chins with the new Cool-Mini applicator. This treatment takes just 45 minutes.
A small area costs £800 for the treatment that takes about 1 1/2 hours. Occasionally, if you have a large frame, a lower abdominal area would be £1,400.
