Many people work hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and balanced nutrition, yet still struggle with stubborn fat on certain parts of the body.
These pockets of fat often develop around the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms or under the chin and can be surprisingly resistant to even the healthiest habits. At The Medispa, we often see patients who feel generally happy with their weight but would like to refine specific areas and achieve a more balanced body contour. This is where treatments such as Cristal Pro fat freezing can be particularly helpful.
As a highly established non-surgical body contouring treatment, fat freezing offers a way to target localised fat deposits without surgery or lengthy recovery periods. However, many patients are still unsure how the treatment works, what results they can realistically expect, and whether it is the right option for their goals.
In this guide, we'll explain how Cristal Pro works, who tends to be most suitable for treatment, what happens to the fat after treatment, and how it can form part of a personalised body contouring plan at The Medispa.
What Is Cristal Pro Fat Freezing?
Cristal Pro is an advanced cryolipolysis treatment, more commonly known as fat freezing.
The treatment uses carefully controlled cooling technology to target and destroy unwanted fat cells beneath the skin without surgery.
Unlike weight loss treatments, Cristal Pro is designed specifically for body contouring. The goal is not to reduce overall body weight but to improve shape and address localised areas of stubborn fat that may not respond to diet and exercise alone.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Abdomen
-
Love handles (flanks)
-
Inner thighs
-
Outer thighs
-
Upper arms
-
Back fat
-
Under the chin
-
Bra line area
In clinic we often see patients who are already maintaining a healthy lifestyle but are frustrated by one or two areas that appear resistant to their efforts. These are often the patients who achieve the most satisfying results from fat freezing.
How Does Fat Freezing Actually Work?
Fat freezing works through a controlled cooling process called cryolipolysis. Here is what happens step by step:
What Happens To The Fat After Treatment?
Once the fat cells have been eliminated by the body, they are gone permanently. The body processes these damaged cells gradually through normal waste removal pathways. This process takes time, which is why results develop progressively rather than immediately.
Most patients begin noticing visible changes after several weeks, with continued improvement over approximately two to three months.
Fat freezing works gradually because it relies on the body's natural biological processes. The advantage of this slower progression is that results tend to appear natural rather than sudden or obvious.
Who Is Cristal Pro Suitable For?
Cristal Pro is most suitable for patients who are close to their ideal weight but have specific areas of unwanted fat. The treatment is not intended as a weight loss solution. Instead, it is designed for body contouring and refining shape.
Good candidates often include:
-
Patients with stubborn abdominal fat
-
Individuals bothered by love handles
-
Men and women seeking improved body definition
-
Patients who want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction
-
Those maintaining a healthy lifestyle but struggling with isolated fat deposits
For milder concerns, a single treatment may be sufficient. For larger or more resistant areas, we would normally discuss whether multiple sessions are likely to achieve a better outcome.
A consultation is always important because treatment suitability depends on body composition, fat distribution and overall goals.
Which Areas Respond Best To Fat Freezing?
Not all areas of fat respond equally. Generally, fat freezing works best where there is enough tissue for the applicator to effectively target and cool the fat layer.
Areas that often respond particularly well include:
Abdomen
The stomach remains one of the most commonly treated areas. Both upper and lower abdominal fat can often be addressed effectively with Cristal Pro.
Love Handles
The flanks frequently respond very well because the fat tends to be localised and easily accessible for treatment.
Inner And Outer Thighs
Many patients choose fat freezing to improve thigh contouring and reduce friction between the legs.
Under The Chin
Submental fat, often referred to as a double chin, can be particularly frustrating because it is rarely influenced by weight loss alone. Fat freezing can help improve jawline definition in suitable patients.
Can Cristal Pro Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Combination treatment plans can often deliver the most comprehensive outcomes. While Cristal Pro focuses on reducing stubborn pockets of fat, some patients also have concerns about body shape, skin quality or overall confidence in the treatment area.
Depending on your goals, Cristal Pro may be incorporated into a wider body contouring plan. For example:
-
Emerald Laser may be considered as part of a broader body contouring journey for patients looking to address localised fat concerns.
-
Body Ballancer® may be incorporated into an overall wellness and body treatment programme.
Where skin quality is also a concern, treatments may include:
While these treatments do not reduce fat, they can help address concerns such as skin quality, texture and firmness as part of a personalised treatment plan.
As always, the most appropriate combination depends on the area being treated, your goals and what is identified during your consultation.
FAQs About Cristal Pro Fat Freezing

How much fat can fat freezing reduce?

Most patients begin noticing changes within several weeks, with continued improvement over approximately two to three months.
Is there any downtime after Cristal Pro?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

Yes. The treated fat cells are eliminated by the body and do not regenerate.
