Fat Freezing and Liposuction Compared: what to consider
How do fat freezing and liposuction differ?
Fat freezing is a non-surgical contouring option for selected localised areas. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat and requires a surgical consultation. They are not interchangeable choices with the same areas treated, recovery time or expected result. Galeo Beauty’s menu covers non-surgical options; this page does not offer liposuction or advise which operation to choose.
What about risks and recovery?
A surgeon can explain anaesthesia, surgical risk, recovery and follow-up for liposuction. For a non-surgical appointment, ask about suitability, possible adverse effects, repeat treatment and how change will be assessed. “Non-surgical” does not mean risk-free, and neither route should be selected just because a price looks lower.
Travelling from Johannesburg
Treatment at Galeo Beauty takes place in Landsmeer, Hartbeespoort. If travelling from Johannesburg, check current directions and whether an assessment and treatment can take place during the same visit. If surgery is under consideration, discuss transport and recovery directly with the surgical team rather than applying salon travel advice to an operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Galeo Beauty perform liposuction?
Liposuction is not a service in the booking catalogue. Ask a qualified surgeon about surgical options and whether an operation would suit you.
Can fat freezing promise the same result as liposuction?
No. They work differently and may produce different changes. A realistic recommendation requires an individual assessment, not a claim that one is an equivalent substitute.
