Back fat

Back Fat can manifest in various ways: such as love handles that bulge over the waistband of your jeans; or unwanted rolls that cling to the shoulder blades. While many patients complain of these small, stubborn pockets of fat, it is also common for fat to be distributed across the whole back. For this reason, a holistic approach can be beneficial: helping to debulk the back while enabling the patient to feel comfortable in their clothes once more.

What can help?

CoolSculpting is an effective, non-surgical solution to improving the appearance of Back Fat. It works by freezing, and therefore destroying, the fat cells (a process referred to as apoptosis or “cell death”), which are then eliminated via the body’s lymphatic system – and once gone, the fat cells do not return.

Common Questions

What are the benefits?

Our tailor-made CoolSculpting plans enable us to effectively reduce Back Fat – and we use a variety of different-shaped applicators, which allow us to follow the body’s natural contours. Though the primary function of CoolSculpting is to refine the silhouette, it causes mild tissue retraction – a combination that helps us to tighten the skin while smoothing unwanted bulk.

Which anaesthetic is used?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment, and therefore requires no anaesthetic. A cold gel pad will be applied to the area to be treated, ensuring that skin is protected from the extreme cold; however, once the treatment begins, the area quickly becomes numb – so any sensation is minimal.

What's the downtime?

There is very little downtime with CoolSculpting, and most patients are ready to resume their normal activities straight after treatment. Some might experience tingling, redness or slight bruising in the area treated; however, this is normal and usually subsides in the following weeks.

When will I see results?

The full effects of CoolSculpting take up to three months to be seen – the time taken for the body to eliminate the fat cells – however, some patients notice a reduction in stubborn fat pockets even sooner. While the fat cells cannot return to the treated area, it is important that you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle – for a sustainable, and long-lasting result.
