Weight Loss / Body Contouring
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment designed to address localised fat concerns. At CFH, the right approach starts with understanding your goal and assessing whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
Not everyone looking for a "weight loss treatment" is looking for the same thing. You may be concerned about:
The first step is understanding what you actually want to change.
Cryolipolysis may be considered when the primary concern is a localised fat or body-contouring concern that fits the treatment's intended purpose.
Your doctor should first understand your goals, treatment area and relevant health history.
Depending on your goal, another CFH approach or a broader medical pathway may be more appropriate.
The right approach starts with understanding what you're trying to achieve, not simply choosing the procedure you saw online.
Assess the relevant concern, treatment area and your goals.
Consider your expectations, history and individual circumstances.
Recommend the treatment or pathway that makes sense for your situation.
Evaluate your response and determine the appropriate next step.
Making the right decision is just as important as getting the right treatment.
Cryolipolysis, commonly known as fat freezing, is a non-surgical procedure that uses controlled cooling to target subcutaneous fat in specific treatment areas. It is intended for localised fat reduction and body contouring, rather than general obesity treatment. At CFH, the suitability of the treatment should be determined through an individual assessment.

| Feature | Cryolipolysis | U-Lipo | Inch Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Localised fat reduction & body contouring | Targeted fat reduction & circumference reduction | Reduce body measurements & support body contouring |
| Approach | Controlled cooling / fat-freezing technology | Ultrasound lipolysis + tripolar RF-based body contouring | Ultrasound Cavitation, RF, Vacuum Therapy & Lymphatic Drainage |
| Treatment Goal | Address localised fat deposits in selected areas | Target stubborn fat and reshape specific body areas | Reduce inches and improve overall body contour |
| Suitable Areas | Abdomen, flanks, thighs and other suitable localised fat areas | Abdomen, sides, hips, thighs, arms, back and other suitable areas | Abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back and other areas based on assessment |
| Sessions | Depends on treatment area, goals and clinical assessment | Depends on treatment area and individual goals | Depends on the programme, target area and individual goals |

There isn't one universally "best" approach. The appropriate option depends on your goal, body concern and clinical assessment.
CFH doesn't start with a procedure. CFH starts with understanding.
