NON-SURGICAL FAT REDUCTION
Fat Freezing in Ascot
Target stubborn, localised fat without surgery.
Fat freezing, also called cryolipolysis, uses controlled cooling to treat pockets of fat that can be difficult to shift with diet and exercise. At Ascot Medi Spa, the appointment includes fat freezing followed by shockwave therapy. We will assess the area and explain both steps at your free consultation.
£165 per session — fat freezing and shockwave
AREAS WE TREAT
Target stubborn fat in key areas
Fat freezing is designed for localised pockets of fat, rather than overall weight loss. Treatment areas need enough pinchable fat for the cooling applicator to sit securely.
Abdomen
For a stubborn pocket on the lower or upper abdomen.
Flanks and waist
For fat at the sides of the waist, often called love handles.
Inner and outer thighs
For suitable pockets on the thighs that you would like to contour.
We will examine the area at your free consultation and tell you honestly whether fat freezing is likely to be suitable.
HOW IT WORKS
How does fat freezing work?
Fat freezing is also known as cryolipolysis. A 3D Ultimate Pro applicator draws a suitable fold of tissue into a cooling cup. Controlled cold affects fat cells beneath the skin, and the body gradually clears the affected cells in the weeks and months after treatment.
Shockwave is included in our fat freezing session. After the cooling stage, we use a second handpiece to deliver acoustic pulses across the treated area. This is intended to complement the fat freezing stage as your body processes the affected fat cells.
There are no incisions or general anaesthetic. Fat freezing is designed to contour a specific area; it is not a weight-loss treatment. We will explain the possible benefits, limitations and risks at your free consultation so you can make an informed decision.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your fat freezing appointment
Before treatment
We discuss the area you would like to treat, review your health history and check that fat freezing is suitable. Your free consultation is the time to ask questions and understand what is realistic for you.
During treatment
The applicator draws the area into a cooling cup. You may feel suction and intense cold at first, followed by numbness. Shockwave therapy follows the cooling stage and feels like repeated pulses across the treated area.
After treatment
You can usually return to normal activities, although tenderness, swelling, bruising or temporary numbness may occur. Changes develop gradually over the following weeks and months. Your result will depend on your body and the area treated.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
-
The number of treatments depends on the area, your starting point and how you respond. We assess this with you at your free consultation and allow time for changes to develop before reviewing whether another session is appropriate. You will receive a personal recommendation, with no pressure to commit to a course.
-
During fat freezing, you may feel suction, pressure and intense cold at first, followed by numbness in the area. Shockwave therapy follows and feels like repeated tapping or pulses on the skin. Sensations vary, and your practitioner will explain each stage and check your comfort throughout.
-
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or numbness can occur. Less common complications include cold injury and paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, where treated fat enlarges rather than reduces and may require surgery. We review your medical history, explain the risks and provide aftercare guidance before you decide. Fat freezing is unsuitable for some people, including those with certain cold-sensitivity conditions.
-
Fat freezing targets pockets of fat. Cellulite and loose skin are different concerns and need their own assessment. If either is your main concern, we will explain whether a cellulite or skin-tightening treatment would be more appropriate, rather than recommending fat freezing automatically.
-
Results develop gradually over the months after treatment, rather than immediately. The amount of change and its timing vary. A stable weight helps maintain your body shape, as remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain. We will agree a suitable review point with you.
-
Yes. Our £165 fat freezing session includes cryolipolysis followed by shockwave therapy in the same appointment. We will assess the area and your suitability at a free consultation, then explain what each stage does and the results you may reasonably expect.
