Frequently asked questions fat freezing and skin tightening

What is fat freezing?
Fat freezing, or cryolipolysis, is a proven and safe method of permanently removing fat cells. The skin with excess fat cells is exposed to a constant temperature of -9°. As a result, the fat cells crystallise at that spot, die off and are broken down by the body. This happens naturally: you urinate out the broken-down cells. The fat cells are permanently removed. After 3-5 weeks, you start to see the first results. Fat freezing 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 for permanent fat loss. It is the ideal solution for fat loss. Fat freezing allows you to lose fat in a targeted and localised way. The fat cells drained after the treatments do not return. 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 anaesthetics are used. The skin remains intact. After the treatment, you can resume your daily activities as usual!
Is fat freezing dangerous with the Clatuu Alpha?
Fat freezing is the safest way of fat removal, so it is not dangerous. There is no need to cut or puncture. There is also no need for anaesthesia as the treatment is painless. The skin is protected by using high-quality gel pads during the procedure. Only the fat cells are targeted as 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 by Harvard Medical School has shown that fat cells die off with constant cooling. The effect is thus scientifically proven. Also, we have undergone the treatment ourselves and experienced its amazing results.
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. In principle, with a BMI of 32 or higher, you cannot be treated. During the consultation, your health, medical history and wishes are discussed. On this basis, we determine whether you qualify for fat freezing.

Fat freezing is for any person who wants to get rid of unwanted fat. This can be just a minimal roll of fat, as well as excess fat.
What can I expect from the free consultation?
During the free consultation, we will map out a personalised treatment plan based on your wishes and associated costs. We look at the area you wish to have treated and take the time to answer all your questions. After this consultation, you can choose to start your fat freezing process or not.
How does a cryolipolysis treatment work?
Before treatment, before photos are taken so that later it is easy to see the difference between before and after. The treatment then starts by marking the area to be treated. A gel pad is then applied to the marked area. This gel pad protects the skin from the cold. The treatment heads are then placed on the body. For 50 minutes, you can work, watch TV or relax. After the treatment is finished, the treatment heads are taken off. The treated area is massaged intensively for 2 minutes to loosen the crystallised fat cells. After this, you can 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 min. This does not include the preparatory steps such as putting on and removing clothes, marking the skin, placing the treatment heads and the massage. You can therefore expect a total of about an hour.
What will I feel during the treatment?
In the first few minutes after the treatment heads are placed on the body, you may experience a pulling and/or tingling sensation where the headpieces are. This is because the skin is sucked into the headpieces and cooled with a temperature of -9°C. After about 5 minutes, this feeling subsides and you can continue reading, listening to music or working in peace. You no longer feel anything at the treatment sites at this point. A cryolipolysis treatment is perceived by many as painless.
When will the results be visible after treatment?
After the first treatment, results can be seen after just 3 to 5 weeks. Up to 12 weeks after treatment, you can gradually see the fat reduced in the problem area as the body drains 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 restrict your daily activities.
How do I make sure the results are lasting?
The fat cells are permanently drained. The result is therefore permanent. Of course, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

When is the result visible after fat freezing?
After the first treatment, results are visible after just 3 to 5 weeks. Up to 12 weeks after treatment, you can gradually see the fat diminishing as the body drains the fat cells.
Can I get skin sagging from fat freezing?
A small layer of fat cells is broken down after each treatment.The removal of fat cells is slow, giving the skin enough time to stretch with it. The cold even causes collagen to be produced. This promotes skin elasticity.
Does fat freezing also have side effects?
After treatment, the area that has been treated may be somewhat sensitive. There may also be bruising or redness. This is quite normal and will quickly subside.

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.

Does skin tightening with the Indiba Edna Pro Max really work?
The treatment really works and the results speak for themselves. Skin rejuvenation based on radiofrequency is scientifically proven. Radiofrequency radiation targets connective tissue in the deeper skin layers. In response, the skin tightens. The Indiba is the most effective and powerful radio frequency device on the market today.
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. Because this wavelength of radio frequency is constant and works into the deeper skin layers, you achieve the best results and the Indiba stands out from all other existing radio frequency methods.
Am I a suitable candidate for skin tightening?

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

When will the result be visible?

Are the results permanent after the cure?
