Frequently asked questions fat freezing and skin tightening

What is fat freezing?
Freezing fat or cryolipolysis is a proven and safe method to permanently remove fat cells. The skin with excess fat cells is exposed to a constant temperature of -9°. As a result, the fat cells crystallize in that spot, die and are broken down by the body. This happens naturally: you pee out the broken down cells. The fat cells are permanently removed. After 3-5 weeks you will start to see the first results. Freezing fat is the most effective and non-invasive way to get rid of unwanted fat.
Why choose fat freezing?
Cryolipolysis is the safest and most effective way to lose fat permanently. It is the ideal solution for fat loss. Fat freezing allows you to lose targeted and localized fat. The fat cells that are removed after the treatments do not come back. Despite dieting, exercising or a healthy lifestyle, it can be very difficult to get rid of fat. This treatment is non-invasive. That means no needles, injections or anesthesia are used. The skin remains intact. You can resume your daily activities after the treatment!
Is fat freezing dangerous with the Clatuu Alpha?
Freezing fat is the safest way of fat removal, so it is not dangerous. There is no need to cut or use needles. No anesthesia is required as the treatment is painless. The skin is protected by the use of high-quality gel pads during the procedure. Only the fat cells are tackled because specifically the fat cells are hypersensitive to cold. The other cells, skin and organs are neither damaged nor adversely affected by fat freezing.
Does fat freezing really work?
Cryolipolysis with the Clatuu Alpha really works. Research from Harvard Medical School has shown that constant cooling kills fat cells. The effect is therefore scientifically proven. We have also undergone the treatment ourselves and experienced the great result.
Am I a suitable candidate for fat freezing?
Whether you qualify for cryolipolysis depends on a number of factors. Your BMI score is the most important factor. You cannot be treated with a BMI of 32 or higher. During the consultation, your health, medical history and wishes will be discussed. Based on this, we determine whether you are eligible for fat freezing.

Freezing fat is for anyone who wants to get rid of unwanted fat. This can only be a minimal fat roll, but also excess fat.
What can I expect from the free consultation?
During the free consultation, a personal treatment plan is mapped out based on your wishes and the total costs. We look at the areas you wish to have treated and take the time to answer all your questions. After this conversation you can choose to start your fat freezing process or not.
How does a cryolipolysis treatment work?
Before the treatment, before photos are taken, so that later the difference between before and after can be clearly seen. The treatment then starts with marking the area to be treated. After that, a gel pad is applied to the marked area. This gel pad protects the skin against the cold. The applicators are then placed on the body. For 50 minutes you can work, watch TV or relax. After the treatment is finished, the applicators are removed. The treated area is intensively massaged for 2 minutes to loosen the crystallized fat cells. You can then get dressed again and resume your daily activities.
How long does a cryolipolysis treatment take?
A cryolipolysis treatment with the Clatuu Alpha takes about 50 minutes. The preparatory steps such as putting on and taking off clothing, marking the skin, placing treatment heads and the massage are not included. So you can expect about an hour in total.
What will I feel during the treatment?
During the first few minutes after the applicators are placed on the body, you may experience a pulling and/or stinging sensation in the areas where the applicators are located. This is because the skin is sucked into the headpieces and cooled with a temperature of -9°C. After about 5 minutes, this feeling disappears and you can continue reading, listening to music or working. You will not feel anything at the treatment areas at this time. A cryolipolysis treatment is experienced by many as painless.
When will I see visible results?
After the first treatment, the result is already visible after 3 to 5 weeks. Up to 12 weeks after the treatment you can gradually see how the fat is reduced in the problem area, because the body removes the fat cells.
Is there a recovery time after the treatment?
There is no recovery time after treatment. You can simply resume your daily activities after the treatment. This treatment does not limit your daily activities.
How do I ensure that the result is permanent?
The fat cells are permanently removed. So the result is permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

When can I undergo a cryolipolysis treatment?
You can undergo a fat freeze treatment if you are 18 years or older and have a BMI of up to 32. The treatment can be performed on both men and women. The treatment is intended for targeted fat loss.
When can I not undergo a cryolipolysis treatment?

With a number of medical conditions such as: Donath-Landsteiner syndrome, cryoglobulinemia and extreme sensitivity to cold (Raynaud’s disease or cold urticaria) it is also not possible to undergo the treatment. Also, this treatment should not be performed on skin with a form of skin injury or severe varicose veins.
When will the result be visible after the treatment?
After the first treatment, the results are already visible after 3 to 5 weeks. Up to 12 weeks after the treatment you can gradually see how the fat is reducing in the problem area as the body removes the fat cells.
Can I get sagging skin from fat freezing?
After each treatment, a small layer of fat cells will be broken down. The discharge of the fat cells is a slow process, so the skin has enough time to stretch. The cold even positively ensures that collagen is produced. This promotes the elasticity of the skin.
Does fat freezing also have side effects?
After the treatment, the area that has been treated may be a bit sensitive. There also may be bruising or redness. This is completely normal and will go away quickly.
What are the costs of a fat freezing treatment?
The cost of a fat freezing treatment starts from 200. We look at the body in zones. The cost for 1 zone/placement is 200,-. The cost for 2 zones/placements is 400,-. During the consultation, we look at how many zones you want to have treated, how many treatments are needed and what your wishes are. Based on this, the total cost will be told. Should several treatments be needed, we offer advantageous package prices. You can also pay in instalments. After the consultation, you can schedule your appointment for your first treatment.

What is skin tightening with the Indiba Edna Pro Max?
Skin tightening using the Indiba Edna Pro Max is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy that naturally tightens, firms and rejuvenates the skin. The radiofrequency heats and charges the skin tissue by moving an applicator over the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which in turn leads to an improved and firmer skin texture and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. A radiofrequency treatment with the Indiba is a quick, safe and effective solution for skin tightening with long-term results.
Is skin tightening dangerous or painful with the Indiba Edna Pro Max?
Skin tightening with the Indiba is a totally safe and natural way of skin rejuvenation. The device is FDA and CE approved. The treatment is non-invasive and no damage is done during the treatment.

How does the Indiba differentiate itself in terms of radio frequency?
The advanced technology with the Indiba Edna Pro Max is unique because the radio frequency energy works at a constant depth of 448 kHz.

If in doubt, you can always schedule a free consultation appointment first and be advised by a specialist.
How does a treatment work?
