The first part of the treatment begins with client consultation. During this consultation, client requirements and client suitability (based on medical history and lifestyle) for treatment are assessed. If considered suitable for the treatment, you will be asked to sign a consent form which explains the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure. You are free to ask any questions and settle your concerns during this time.

To begin the procedure, a cooling gel pads is applied to the targeted area of fat. This area of fat are drawn upwards using vacuum suction. During this time, you may feel some tugging /pulling or pressure sensations but no pain. Once the cooling applicator is applied the temperature in the applicator drops, causing numbness in the targeted area. The area is cooled for approximately 30 minutes. Towards the end of the treatment, the vacuum turns off, and the applicator is removed. The area treated is massaged to dislodge dead fat cells and promote blood flow into the area.

Aftercare advise is given by the practitioner at the end of the appointment to achieve optimum results.

Overall there is a reduction in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer, which can be up to 40% of the fat in the targeted area, per treatment.

Yes absolutely, 4D Chin Freeze is a permanent solution to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat. The fat cells are destroyed and eventually removed by our body’s natural processes.

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this procedure as safe and states “Cryolipolysis is effective in the reduction of fat”. Our Cryolipolysis treatment device bears the CE certification mark, which means that it conforms with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).

We schedule appointments of 45 min for 4D Chin Freeze treatment. This includes 10 min initial consultation, 30 minute of procedure time and 5 minutes of aftercare advice.

4D Chin Freeze is an entirely a non- invasive procedure so there is hardly any recovery time associated with it. The client can return to their routine on the same day. However, some individuals may experience temporary redness, bruising, or soreness after the procedure, this is temporary and usually subsides in no more than 7 – 10 days.

As 4D Chin Freeze is a non- surgical, non-invasive procedure, there aren’t many side effects or risk of infection associated with it.

Depending on the sensitivity, some clients may experience some temporary discomfort in the treated area such as redness, soreness, numbness, tingling or swelling. This is mainly due to how the treatment area is drawn up between the two cooling gel pads during treatment. These side effects are temporary and will dissipate in a few days.

We at Dermacore Clinics believe that aftercare is an essential element of the treatment. All relevant aftercare advice is provided via the practitioner/s, and in addition, we also offer free follow up appointments and phone support for all our treatments. Aftercare advice must be followed to achieve optimum results.

4D Chin Freeze is a suitable alternative to liposuction, and most people are suitable candidates for 4D Chin Freeze; however, it is not an alternative for weight loss for morbidly obese individuals. Therefore, you should be in general good health and have realistic expectations of the results.

Contraindications include: cold-induced conditions such as cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria, and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. It is advised that fat freezing treatments should not be performed in treatment areas with severe varicose veins, dermatitis, or other cutaneous lesions.

4D Chin Freeze only works by destroying fat cells; therefore, it has little or no effect on loose skin or cellulite. We recommend Radiofrequency skin tightening or Ultrasonic Cavitation treatments to overcome these issues.
