Amara Clinic no longer offers CoolSculpting. We have retired our fat-freezing service and we are not replacing it with another body-contouring device.

This page explains what the treatment was, why we stopped offering it, and what we would suggest instead if body fat is what brought you here.

CoolSculpting is a brand of cryolipolysis — fat freezing. The device cools a pocket of fat through the skin until a proportion of the fat cells in that area are damaged, and the body then clears them gradually over the following weeks and months.

Crucially, it was designed for stubborn, diet-and-exercise-resistant pockets of fat in people who were already close to their target weight. It was never a weight-loss treatment. That distinction matters, and in practice it was the reason a large share of the people who enquired about it were never suitable candidates in the first place.

Two honest reasons.

It only ever solved a narrow problem. Fat freezing addressed a pocket of fat on someone whose weight was otherwise stable. For most people who contacted us about it, the real goal was to lose weight — and a device that treats one small area was never going to deliver that, no matter how well it performed.

Medical weight management has moved on. Doctor-led weight-management programmes address weight across the whole body, rather than one area at a time, and for many people that is simply the more appropriate route. Keeping an expensive device on the menu that we would talk most enquirers out of anyway had stopped making sense.
