Cryolipolysis Fat Freezing (Clatuu)

Cryolipolysis with the Clatuu system targets stubborn pockets of fat by cooling them to a temperature that damages fat cells while sparing the overlying skin. The treated cells are then cleared naturally over the following weeks. It is a non-surgical option for defined bulges — such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs — in people close to their target weight, rather than a treatment for overall weight loss.

Cryolipolysis, often called fat freezing, uses controlled cooling to target localised fat. A vacuum applicator draws the bulge into a cup and cools it to a temperature at which fat cells are damaged while the skin, nerves and other tissues are protected. Over the following weeks the body gradually clears the affected fat cells through its normal processes, and the treated area reduces in thickness. At PROESTETICA the treatment is delivered with the Clatuu system, and more than one applicator can be used in a session to treat larger or paired areas such as both flanks. Each applicator runs for around an hour; you feel intense cold and suction at first, which usually eases as the area numbs, and you can read or relax during treatment. Afterwards the area may be red, firm, swollen or temporarily numb for a few days to a couple of weeks. Results are not immediate — the reduction develops over roughly one to three months as the fat cells are cleared — and a second cycle after a few weeks is often recommended for a more noticeable change. Cryolipolysis is best suited to people near their target weight who have specific, pinchable pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise; it is not a weight-loss treatment and is not a substitute for surgical fat removal where that is indicated. The practitioner assesses whether your concern is suitable and explains realistic expectations beforehand.
