Sculpt Freeze is a pioneering non-surgical fat reduction procedure, using the new Clatuu ALPHA machine. The Sculpt Freeze treatment uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all effort through diet and exercise. The latest machine used at the Dr Sebagh clinic is designed with 360 degree Surround Cooling Technology and multiple cooling cups to fit all curves and contours from as high as your chin all the way down to the knees to deliver absolute, non-invasive body contouring.

Sculpt Freeze technology using the new CLATUU Alpha machine freezes away stubborn fat. It safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin to induce apoptosis. The treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), then die. Over time (up to three months), your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.

Sculpt Freeze can be used to treat areas of fat all over the body including arms, abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, love handles, flanks and below the buttocks. It is particularly effective at removing stubborn fat underneath the chin known as a 'double chin'.

You may feel slight tugging and pinching on your skin in the first 5 minutes of the treatment. After each cooling cup has generated stable, but powerful cooling energy into your body, however, your session will gradually become more comfortable where you can partake in other activities.

Depending on the area targeted, your treatment should take between 40-60 minutes. Your doctor will carefully select which cooling times are optimal for a fully effective session.

In short, no. The difference between fat reduction and weight loss is that when we lose weight, our fat cells become smaller, but the number of fat cells remains the same. When we gain weight, those fat cells become larger again. However, the Sculpt Freeze procedure actually reduces the number of fat cells in the treated areas. Obviously, fat cells that are no longer there can't get bigger. Unlike weight loss surgery or other non-surgical weight loss procedures, results from the Sculpt Freeze procedure are lasting because once the fat cells are eliminated, they're gone for good.

However, the Sculpt Freeze fat reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have stubborn and unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise, it is not an alternative to gastric bypass surgery. Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is key to prolonging the results of the Sculpt Freeze treatment.

You may experience slight redness, bruising, tenderness and soreness after initial numbing in the target areas subside. Nonetheless, you should be able to return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

You should see changes after about three weeks with full results showing after about three months.
