The science of fat freezing
What is cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis is the clinical name for fat freezing: a technique that removes stubborn fat cells by exposing them to controlled cold, with no surgery involved.
- No surgery or anaesthetic
- Backed by clinical research
- No downtime afterwards

How the technology works
Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the skin and muscle tissue around them. Cryolipolysis makes use of that difference: the treatment area is cooled to a constant minus 9 degrees, which the fat cells cannot withstand.
The cells crystallise and die off, after which the body clears them naturally over the following weeks. The skin and surrounding tissue are left undamaged.

From cooling to result
Four stages describe what happens inside the body after a session.
- 01
Cooling
The treatment zone is cooled to minus 9 degrees for around 50 minutes.
- 02
Crystallisation
The targeted fat cells crystallise under the constant cold.
- 03
Cell death
The crystallised cells die off in a controlled, natural process.
- 04
Clearance
Over the following weeks the body clears the dead fat cells for good.

Is it safe
A technique backed by research
Cryolipolysis is based on research into how fat cells respond to cold, work that goes back to studies at Harvard Medical School. Because the treatment targets only fat cells, the skin and organs are not affected.
At RB Clinics we use the Clatuu Alpha, a CE and FDA certified device with 360 degree cooling technology.
