Fat Freezing Treatment Cost In Singapore
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, has become an increasingly popular non-invasive procedure to reduce stubborn fat pockets. This method targets and cools fat cells to a temperature that causes their natural death while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. This blog article explores the various factors influencing the price of fat freezing treatment and provides insights into what you can expect when paying for this procedure.
Factors Influencing the Cost of Fat Freezing Treatment
Brand and Technology
The specific brand and technology used for the fat freezing procedure can significantly impact the overall cost. Brands such as Clatuu, Cool Shaping 2, and CoolSculpting tend to have different prices due to their features or efficacy.
For example, Clatuu is known for its dual applicators, allowing for simultaneous treatments, which may allow each session to be more cost-effective.
Cool Shaping 2, on the other hand, offers cooling technology that enhances comfort and efficiency during treatment. The design and functionality of Cool Shaping 2’s applicators are optimised to provide a more seamless and comfortable experience for patients, which can influence the perceived value of the treatment.
CoolSculpting, a widely recognised brand developed by Zeltiq, is a premium option due to its extensive clinical studies and proven efficacy in delivering certain results. It is also FDA approved for eliminating stubborn fat in multiple treatment areas.
Consumables and Treatment Protocols
The cost of the consumables, such as gel pads, applicator covers, and other single-use items required for each fat freezing session, as well as the recommended number of treatments, can also contribute to the overall price. Clinics that use more specialised applicators may have higher per-session costs due to the increased expense of these consumables.
Practitioner’s Expertise
The level of expertise and experience of the trained practitioners performing the fat freezing procedure can also impact the pricing. Clinics with highly trained and qualified practitioners may charge higher rates. At Dr Cindy’s Medical Aesthetics, our fat freezing treatments are performed by our trained therapists.
Number of Sessions Required
The exact number of sessions required for fat freezing depends on the target body part and fat content. Usually, larger areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or back fat require more sessions as more fat accumulates in those areas. The estimated cost for multiple sessions typically ranges from SGD 1,500 to SGD 3,000 for a complete treatment plan.
Post-Treatment Care
The need for post-treatment care is dependent on the individual and type of treatment prescribed. Costs for post-treatment care may include special garments or medications to monitor progress and address any concerns. These costs can range from SGD 50 to SGD 200 per item or visit.
Additional Costs If You Choose to Add Complementary Treatments
If you choose to enhance fat reduction and achieve a more comprehensive body contouring approach, you may consider combining fat freezing with other synergistic treatments. These additional treatments come with their own costs:
- Cavitation Therapy (e.g. Robolex): Cavitation therapy uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to target and disrupt fat cells. Robolex is an example of a device that incorporates cavitation along with other modalities such as radiofrequency and vacuum therapy to enhance fat reduction and skin tightening. The estimated additional cost can range from SGD 200 to SGD 500 per session.
- Acoustics Shockwave (e.g. ProShock Ice): Proshock Ice promotes the natural elimination of broken-down fat cells from the body and helps in body contouring by eliminating localised fat deposits, as well as tightening the tissues, which improves cellulite appearance. The estimated additional cost can range from SGD 300 to SGD 600 per session.
- Muscle Building & Fat Reduction Treatment (e.g., Emsculpt): This is a non-invasive treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions in targeted areas, leading to muscle toning and improved fat metabolism. The estimated additional cost is between SGD 900 to SGD 1000 per session depending on the clinic and specific treatment area.
Average Cost of Fat Freezing in Singapore
On average, the cost of fat freezing treatments in Singapore can range from SGD 300 to SGD 1,500 per session. Here’s a breakdown of the expected costs based on different factors:
- Single Area Treatment: SGD 300 – SGD 600 per session
- Multiple Area Treatments: SGD 600 – SGD 1,200 per session
- Comprehensive Packages: Some clinics offer package deals for multiple sessions or multiple areas, which can provide cost savings. Depending on the number of sessions and treatment areas included, these packages can range from SGD 1,500 to SGD 5,000.
Additional costs to consider:
- Consultation Fees: Separate consultation fees typically range from SGD 100 to SGD 300.
Conclusion
Fat freezing treatment in Singapore offers a non-invasive option for people looking to reduce localised fat deposits. The cost of this treatment can vary based on several factors, including location, trained practitioner’s expertise, technology, and the number of sessions required. By understanding these factors, you can make an informed decision about your treatment options and manage the associated costs effectively.
