Fat Freezing in Melbourne: How Cryolipolysis Works with Cooltech & Clatuu Alpha

Stubborn fat doesn’t always respond to diet and exercise. That’s where fat freezing—also known as cryolipolysis—can help.

At The Derm Lab, we use two of the most advanced medical-grade devices on the market: Cooltech and Clatuu Alpha. Both deliver powerful, non-surgical fat reduction results with no downtime.

Here’s everything you need to know about the treatment, the technology, and what to expect.


❄️ What Is Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to destroy fat cells—without surgery or needles.

  • Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue
  • The treated fat cells are frozen, damaged, and then naturally eliminated by the body
  • Surrounding skin, muscle, and nerves remain completely safe

This makes fat freezing one of the safest and most effective ways to sculpt the body without downtime.


⚙️ Cooltech vs Clatuu Alpha: What’s the Difference?

Both Cooltech and Clatuu Alpha are premium, medical-grade cryolipolysis systems. At The Derm Lab, we use both depending on your body type, area being treated, and treatment goals.

We tailor your treatment based on the device that fits your body best—so you always get maximum fat reduction.


📍 Areas We Treat with Fat Freezing

  • Abdomen (stomach)
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Bra bulge and back fat
  • Upper arms
  • Double chin

💡 What Results Can I Expect?

You can expect up to 25–30% fat reduction in the treated area after a single session, with results appearing gradually over 6–12 weeks.

We often recommend 2 sessions per area, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, for optimal results.


🕒 What Happens During a Treatment?

  • The area is measured and marked
  • A gel pad is applied to protect the skin
  • The applicator gently suctions the fat and begins controlled cooling
  • You’ll relax for 60–70 minutes—most people scroll their phone or nap
  • After removal, the area is massaged to enhance fat breakdown

There’s no downtime and you can return to normal activities immediately.


🧬 Is Fat Freezing Right for Me?

Fat freezing is best for:

  • People with stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise
  • Those wanting a non-surgical alternative to liposuction
  • Men and women close to their ideal weight, looking to contour specific areas

It’s not a weight loss treatment, but it’s excellent for reshaping your body.
