Fat Freezing at Galeo Beauty
At Galeo Beauty in Hartbeespoort, body-contouring treatments are for specific areas and shape goals rather than general weight loss. Each option works differently, so the area, tissue and result you want matter.
At Galeo Beauty in Hartbeespoort, fat freezing (Cryolipolysis) is a non-invasive, permanent fat-reduction treatment. It works by safely cooling fat cells to a temperature that destroys them without damaging the surrounding skin or tissue. Your body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells over the following weeks, resulting in a permanent reduction of the treated fat pocket.

FAQs
How many fat freezing sessions do I usually need?
Most clients need 1 to 3 sessions per area depending on how much stubborn fat they want to reduce and how their body responds after the first treatment.
When do fat freezing results start showing?
You may notice early changes within a few weeks, but the clearest results usually show between 8 and 12 weeks as the body processes the treated fat cells.
Is fat freezing a weight-loss treatment?
No. Fat freezing is best for shaping specific areas such as the stomach, thighs or love handles rather than for overall scale weight loss.
Does fat freezing hurt?
You will feel an initial cold sensation and pulling as the applicator is applied, but this usually subsides within a few minutes as the area becomes numb.
Are the results of fat freezing permanent?
Yes, the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and eliminated by the body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.
