Mummy tummy
The Mummy Tummy can be difficult to shift. Sometimes it manifests in stubborn fat that refuses to budge, no matter how much exercise you take; it might be a C-section scar that’s causing skin retraction and an overhang that was never previously there. While pregnancy leads to numerous physical changes within your body, nowhere are these more apparent than the belly and waist. Despite your body’s extraordinary ability to bring another life into this world, these changes can still lead to a lack of self-esteem and discomfort surrounding your abdomen – however, help is at hand.

CoolSculpting is an effective, non-surgical solution to improving the appearance of the Mummy Tummy. 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

CoolSculpting®More about CoolSculpting

A patient before and after treatment at McKeown Medical.
CoolSculpting is a completely non-invasive treatment, that does not penetrate the skin. Instead, a protective membrane is applied to the skin and then a specially contoured applicator is attached that freezes the tissues. Each applicator is approximately the size of the palm of your hand, and we refer to each application as ‘one treatment cycle’. Typically, most tummies will need 2-4 cycles of treatment to cover the whole area. It can be more than this if you chose to also treat the flanks or love handles too. After the treatment, the area will feel numb and a little swollen for a few days. It will typically take up to 12 weeks to see the full results, although most people can appreciate an improvement after about four weeks.

From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.
My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.
I am currently in day 3 of the Halo treatment and everything is exactly what I was told to expect. I am now looking forward to seeing end result. Thank you to you and your team .

Common Questions
What are the benefits?
Our tailor-made CoolSculpting plans enable us to define a tidy waistline and shape the lower abdomen – 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 also has a mild skin tightening effect – a combination that also assists in smoothing the overhang that can be caused by a Caesarean scar.
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.
