Fat Freeze Cryolipolysis Training Course
A practical CPD course in cryolipolysis, commonly called fat freezing. Controlled cooling is designed to reduce a localised, pinchable pocket of fat on areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, upper arms and bra line. It is a non-surgical contouring treatment, not a weight loss treatment, and results vary.
