Fat Melting vs Fat Freezing in Brisbane | Beauty Stables & Co: Which Works Better in Brisbane?

If you’re in Brisbane comparing fat melting to fat freezing (cryolipolysis), here’s the simple truth: both contour the body by reducing stubborn fat cells, but they work differently and feel different. This guide breaks down what happens, how fast you’ll see changes, side-effects, and who tends to get the best results.

What is Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)?

Fat freezing uses controlled cold to injure fat cells so your body clears them over time. It’s non-invasive and well known, but:

Results take time: changes often show over 8–12 weeks.
Local reactions: temporary numbness, redness or swelling are common; a rare side effect is PAH (paradoxical adipose hyperplasia) where an area enlarges instead of shrinking.
Spot-by-spot: most devices treat one zone per applicator and sessions can be longer.

What is “Fat Melting” (LED/HIFU Thermolipolysis)?

Fat melting uses targeted heat (LED/infrared) or focused ultrasound (HIFU) to disrupt fat cells so the body naturally processes them. Clients like it because:

Faster feel-good timeline: many notice changes in weeks, with best outcome over several sessions.
Comfort: sessions are brief and low-discomfort, typically with minimal downtime.
Flexible coverage: multiple areas can be treated in one visit, which keeps plans efficient for busy Brisbane schedules.

Important: Body contouring is not a weight-loss treatment. It’s for pinchable, diet-resistant pockets on candidates near a healthy weight. Results vary with lifestyle.
