Non-surgical alternative to liposuction
Fat-freezing is the non-surgical alternative to liposuction that actually works. Although there are many copy-cat versions on the market, we only utilise the gold standard patented CoolSculpting device from Allergan.
Have you considered liposuction but you don’t fancy the idea of anaesthesia, recovery, compression garments, and all of the potential complications of surgery? Now there is a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative.
Just look at the case studies of our patients who have been treated here, in our Glasgow clinic. These results have been achieved without surgery, with a combination of our expert medical team’s knowledge and a treatment plan utilising the extraordinary patented, FDA approved CoolSculpting® technology.
Most of us have the odd little bump or pocket of fat on our bodies that we are not too keen on. Often these bumps can be in places that are genetically programmed such as the saddlebags, mummy tummy, muffin tops, love handles, double chin, and ‘bra fat’ that just will not shift, no matter how much we diet and exercise.
Sometimes these ‘little bulges’ can really get to us and affect how we feel about ourselves, both in and out of clothes.
That is where CoolSculpting® fat-freezing works and can really help.
CoolSculpting® reduces unwanted body fat with lasting results and is the only FDA-approved, non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction treatment in the world.
The technology was originally developed by Harvard scientists and sold to Allergan in a multi-billion dollar deal. The technology is protected by over 150 global patents and whilst there are now many attempts to copy CoolSculpting®, no other machine has access to the patented features that make CoolSculpting® so uniquely safe and consistently effective.
We now have three CoolSculpting fat reduction machines in our clinic, making us one of the biggest CoolSculpting centres outside of London.

Does fat-freezing really work?
Over 7 million CoolSculpting® fat reduction treatments have been performed worldwide.
The CoolSculpting® fat-freezing procedure has been rigorously tested through research and has many scientific studies and clinical papers published in peer-reviewed literature that testify to its effectiveness. You can also look at the before and after images above of patients treated in our Glasgow clinic. All of the before and after images are our own patients, rather than stock images taken from the internet.

Made me feel really calm and relaxed and staff from reception and treatment room were so pleasant and very professional.
Dr Darren was amazing. Made me so comfortable and so so pleasant. Such a lovely guy! Highly recommend, absolutely delighted so far – although, as advised, a bit swollen! Thank you so much.

A McKeown Medical patient March 2024
Dr Rhona was lovely and put me at ease before and during the treatment. I was well informed of my options prior to treatment taking place and aftercare was explained thoroughly too. Will definitely be revisiting soon.
A McKeown Medical patient March 2024
Dr Rhona was particularly kind and sensitive to my needs and her care is very patient centred.
A McKeown Medical patient October 2023
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 .
A McKeown Medical patient May 2024
Lovely friendly staff. Came out after treatment feeling so much better about my appearance. Dr Darren McKeown puts you at ease and gives you a wonderful boost. Thank you all.
A McKeown Medical patient March 2024
I have so much trust and faith in Dr Darren and I thank him dearly for all that he has done for me to improve my confidence.
A McKeown Medical patient September 2023
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.
A McKeown Medical patient December 2023
It’s just a lovely clinic. Everyone is very professional and it feels very high end, so you know you’re in safe hands, but they’re also friendly, welcoming and warm which really matters when visiting as it helps you feel at ease & relaxed.
The best place for the best advice and the best service. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
A McKeown Medical patient November 2023

A McKeown Medical patient April 2024

Are you ready to start your consultation?
Finding the right treatment for you is the most important factor in ensuring that you are on the correct path to achieve the results you desire. Our pre-consultation form helps us to identify your needs and, ultimately, gets you on the right path to achieving your optimal results.
Pricing
The cost of the treatment varies according to the size of the area being treated and the amount of fat that needs to be removed. Each treatment area treated by one applicator head is referred to as a treatment ‘cycle’.
What we have learned about CoolSculpting® is that to achieve the most impressive results, it is necessary to combine multiple treatment cycles using a range of different applicator heads to create a bespoke plan tailored to your body shape.
Usually, multiple treatment cycles are performed at a single treatment session, although sometimes two separate sessions – four weeks apart – are suggested.
Typical number of cycles for each treatment area:
Submental region (double chin) – 2 cycles
Upper arms – 2 – 4 cycles
Bra fat – 2 cycles
Lower tummy – 2 cycles
Upper and lower tummy – 4 cycles
Flanks – 2 – 4 cycles
Inner thighs – 2 – 4 cycles

What to Expect
A patient before and after treatment at McKeown Medical.
Your CoolSculpting® consultation
In addition to the incredible fat-freezing technology, we also have a dedicated CoolSculpting® team in our clinic headed up by Dr. Rhona Cameron. Dr. Rhona sees all of our CoolSculpting® patients for their initial fat reduction consultation and assessment.
At the consultation, she examines and measures the fat pads and creates a bespoke non-invasive treatment plan to suit each person’s individual needs. This is a critical part of the treatment process: there are no treatments by the standard protocol in our clinic. Every treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs.
Since being cleared by the FDA in America – widely considered to be the most rigorous medical device regulator in the world – CoolSculpting has been approved to treat unwanted fat in the following areas:
- Submental region (double chin)
- Thighs
- Abdomen (tummy)
- Flanks (love handles)
- Bra Fat
- Back Fat
- Underneath the buttocks
- Upper Arms (Bingo Wings)
Recovery & Aftercare
Because CoolSculpting® is carried out without the need for surgery, there is very little downtime and most patients can return to their normal activities right away.

Common Questions
What Areas Can Be Treated With CoolSculpting®?
Anywhere on your body that you have fat you can pinch (or grab), we can treat.
When CoolSculpting® was originally launched it came with one treatment applicator head, which allowed the machine to freeze large chunks of tissue such as lower belly fat or love handles.
Since then, the applicator heads have been redesigned to make them more effective and efficient with regards to body shape. Some treatments can be completed in as little as 35 minutes with the new design, whilst more awkwardly shaped areas – such as the double chin or ‘bra fat’ – can be treated with new custom-designed handpieces.
We have invested in a full stock of all applicator heads, assisting us in the process of customising the treatments specifically to each individual.
As well as the full range of applicator designs, we also have three CoolSculpting® machines which allow us to treat multiple areas simultaneously, quickly, and effectively without the downtime or risks of surgery.
This truly is non-invasive fat reduction at its best.
What Is The CoolAdvantage Petite™ Applicator?
The latest addition to the CoolAdvantage applicator family – the CoolAdvantage Petite™ – is specifically designed to treat the upper arm area in just 35 minutes.
It has been created with two interchangeable contours which safely and effectively treat the unique shape of the upper arms. Due to its small shape and size, it’s also versatile enough to tackle small pockets of fat on other areas of the body too, such as the knees.
How Soon Will I See Results?
It takes a little while for full results to appear since the body needs to go through the process of programmed cell death and elimination of the breakdown products.
You can normally start to see results after around 4 weeks, although it takes up to 4 months to see the full results.
During your CoolSculpting® consultation at our Glasgow clinic, we can discuss a tailored treatment plan that will meet your specific needs.
How Long Does CoolSculpting® Fat Reduction Last?
Since we have become accustomed to non-surgical procedures being a temporary fix – for example, wrinkle relaxing injections last for 4 months or fillers last between 1 to 2 years – many people assume that the same is true of CoolSculpting®.
Actually, this is not the case. CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that lasts.
When the fat cells are destroyed by the cryolipolysis process, they are gone forever. So long as you maintain your current body weight, the contour will remain the same – similar to the longevity of liposuction.
What Is CoolSculpting® Fat Loss Treatment?
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive, fat-freezing (cryolipolysis) treatment that is scientifically proven to work in reducing fat cells as a body contouring method – similar to liposuction.
The results are long-lasting and noticeable.
CoolSculpting® works by precisely cooling the temperature of the tissue to a predetermined level whereby it is possible for the overlying skin to survive, but not the underlying fat cells.
The fat cells then undergo a program of controlled cell death known as ‘apoptosis’ and are naturally eliminated from the body over a number of weeks following the treatment.
This results in a noticeable and long-lasting reduction in the unwanted fat bulge without a need for surgery or to change your diet and exercise routine.
How Safe Is CoolSculpting® Fat-Freezing Treatment?
CoolSculpting® has been approved by the FDA in America – the most rigorous regulator in the world.
It is approved because of its patented technology, safety features, and ability to deliver consistent results. There have been over 7 million CoolSculpting® treatments performed worldwide without any major complications, making it a much safer alternative to liposuction, which is also non-surgical.
How many treatment cycles will I need?
The exact number of treatment cycles really does vary from person to person, according to the size and shape of the individual fat pads.
Generally, the larger the area, and the thicker the fat cells, the more cycles that will be required. At your initial consultation, we will make a number of measurements so we can work out exactly what the best treatment parameters will be to achieve the results you are looking for. As a general guide, the table below gives an estimate of the number that may be required per body area.
