Fat freezing allows you to destroy stubborn target areas of fat by freezing them. The cool temperatures cause apoptosis, ‘cell death’. These fat cells are metabolised through the lymphatic system allowing your body to safely and naturally drain the dead fat cells away.
You can expect to lose between 20 and 80 percent of the fat cells in your targeted area with fat freezing (cryogenic lipolysis). The size of the treatment area is the most significant factor that effects how many fat cells you can lose. It is important to recognise fat freezing is. It a weight loss treatment although it still result in the elimination of fat cells in a specific area. Following aftercare advice also plays a huge part in the result of the treatment.
Cryogenic lipolysis is a relatively safe non-surgical alternative to liposuction. It does not require anaesthesia and eliminates the risk of bleeding of serious infection that come with surgical treatments. Fat freezing typically takes 30-40 minutes, with no downtime and minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
Whilst there are many benefits of fat freezing, it is important to be aware of any risks or side effects of any treatment you decide to have.
Although extremely rare, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia can occur in less than 1 percent of treatments. This means that the targeted fat cells grow larger rather than smaller. This is not a dangerous physical side effect but a cosmetic one that tend to effect more men than women. Reason for this is unknown.
Anti wrinkle reduction injections including Botox require a prescription. You will be asked to attend a consultation with our prescriber before treatment is commenced in order to discuss your suitability. If you feel this is not for you then we can discuss options for other treatments available that may be more suitable, whether that is at Hill Clinics or another Clinic in the local area.
These particular prescription injections can be used to treat many areas for both cosmetic and medical purposes including –
Forehead lines, bunny lines between the brows, frown lines, crows feet, hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) in areas such as armpits and hands, migraines and teeth grinding.
Radio frequency is a technology used by many celebrities to tighten skin and reduce cellulite.
By using radio frequency conducted through the skin, loose skin can tighten as the collagen production is stimulated. By heating the fat cells it can tighten and smooth the skin whilst also reducing cellulite.
Ultrasound cavitation is used to target body fat in any area which is non-invasive, safe and effective. The cavitation waves emit a high pitched sound that targets fat cells only, breaking them apart and keeping every other cell safe. The body then metabolises these cells through the coming weeks and excreted through the lymphatic system.
This is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and breaking down fat.

EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Antony Vecchio2024-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a follow-up review. For anyone wanting a non surgical removal of Lipomas I have to highly recommend Hills Clinics in Bristol. Not only is nurse Harriet the nicest, most genuine person you will ever have the pleasure to meet but the results from her fat dissolving solution are miraculous. I had Lipomas on my arms, chest and back, which were not only visually ugly but also some of them were painful. After only 3 appointments they are almost all gone ! we tried two types of fat dissolving solutions and I personally would recommend the more aggressive medication. Although this made the Lipomas swell and feel uncomfortable for a couple of days, it really did the trick. As far as the application (injections) Harriet is a pro and you shouldn't be worried at all (and I'm not a fan of needles !). They do take a while to go (6-8 months), but think how long they took to appear and grow, it's a no brainer. A massive thanks to Harriet and should I get any new ones I will certainly be going back to see her, even though I now live abroad. Try Hills, you wont regret it. Laura2024-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harriet is really friendly and professional, with a lovely clinic room in her peaceful home. I went to see her for the hayfever kenalog injection. She was really gentle and I didn't feel a thing. I haven't felt any symptoms since and feel even more fit and healthy since I'm not suffering with sniffles anymore. Thank you :) Toby2024-04-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Harriet last summer for a hayfever injection and it worked absolute wonders! I suffered really badly and the injection took it all away. Harriet was lovely and I’ll be coming back again this spring :) amy jones2024-04-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the hayfever injection about a month ago and it was my second time getting it done at hill clinics. The hayfever jab is fantastic at reducing my hayfever symptoms but also works incredibly well for my other allergies!! Can finally breath around the cats😂 Harriet is so friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable about the service she provides. Thank you so much🥰 Caron Ricciardi2024-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harriet was super friendly and reassuring - conversation was easy and I wouldn’t hesitate in returning to her and recommending her to anyone Natasha Bond2024-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to see Harriet today for my treatments following on from a consultation with her last month. I was super excited to finally do something for myself, but also a little nervous as I’ve never had anything done before. Throughout the appointment Harriet was asking how I was and how the treatments were making me feel, explained what she was doing or going to be doing, and allowed regular breaks so that things weren’t rushed and to ensure that I was comfortable with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly or professional person to have carried out these treatments for me. Thank you so much for being on my confidence journey with me and I look forward to seeing you again soon! ❤️ Helen Phelps2023-11-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First ever experience of any form of treatment and I'm so pleased I chose Harriet. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Felt like I'd known her for ages by time I left. Already booked in next session. Thank you Sam Andrews2023-09-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Asked Harriet if there was any help for grinding my teeth. Harriet suggested that I have some botox injects in my masseter muscles. After only one course I feel so much different. My teeth don't hurt, I don't have tension in my jaw any more, amazing! I can't explain the 'freeness' I feel in my face now. Thank you! Nic T2023-09-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ❣️❣️Went to Hills Clinic as a sceptic.
