Client Success Story - How Many Sessions of Fat freezing will I need? - Mia
A common question we get asked here at Beautiful Body Clinics is ‘how many sessions of fat-freezing will I need’. Our client, Mia, is the perfect example of how dramatic results can be from just one session!
Success Story of Our Client
Mia had 4 handles/applicators applied in a diamond shape to cover her abdomen for a duration of 60 minutes. These are the results just 8 weeks after treatment. Mia described that these results so far are ‘life-changing’
Mia has just commenced her career as a school teacher and working full-time made it much more difficult to exercise. She couldn't get to the gym as often as she wanted in the mornings, and after work, she was exhausted and that was before she did housework and cooking dinner
Mia explained that it had only taken a few short months for her body to feel like it was out of control. ‘I was always annoyed by my belly but recently I feel like I have totally lost control. I had a couple of extra kilos hanging around since COVID - but I knew that with age and stress and now working full-time it was going to be impossible to get rid of on my own. Given that I wasn’t successful through diet and exercise in the last 18 months since COVID lockdowns, I knew I needed help”. Mia was sick of the constant diet exercise failure and criticism at the end of the night when she hadn’t eaten the best and hadn’t exercised that day. She came to us to get her confidence and self-love back.
Mia explained that after just 2 weeks she stepped out of the shower and had a look at her tummy and noticed a dramatic lift in her lower abdomen, so much that she had to call her partner into the bathroom for a second opinion and just as she suspected her tummy had lifted.
Following her fat-freezing treatment Mia improved her diet and had been exercising more - due to our Behavioural Change Program. The combination of fat-freezing treatment and the program led her to lose 2.2 kg of weight. Our Behavioural Change Program is designed to help our clients understand their current diet, exercise behaviors, and any emotional patterns around food. Combined with Fat Freezing - the change is holistic and the knowledge gained from the program stays with the client for the rest of their life.

How does Fat freezing work?
We had to educate Mia like all of our clients that fat freezing is not a treatment for obesity or to help with global weight loss. Fat freezing works on the subcutaneous layer of fat cells and can be used to contour the body. It is not a weight loss treatment because body weight is impacted daily by a variety of factors including the size of muscles, the level of hydration (due to intake and hormone fluctuations), and the amount of food in the digestive tract. The fat cells that are located in the abdominal cavity are known as visceral fat and there is also intramuscular fat (fat cells that are found within the muscles) and neither of these due to their location and the protective area of the muscles adjacent to them are not impacted by fat freezing. It is only the number of subcutaneous fat cells where the fat freezing applicator or handle is applied that is reduced by freezing, which is why it is not considered as a global weight loss treatment. Whilst we do have subcutaneous fat cells covering our entire body fat freezing is only used to reduce the amount of fat in the area where the applicator (or handle ) is placed and in Mia’s case on her belly. However as stated the Behavioural Change Program - assisted Mia in losing 2.2kg in the 2 months following her fat-freezing treatment.
