If your New Year’s fitness resolution has fallen by the wayside, or if you just aren’t seeing the results you wanted, it can be hard to stay on track. But did you know there’s an easier answer?

CLATUU is a non-surgical fat reduction device, fast becoming the go-to method for achieve a sleeker, more contoured and svelte figure.

Whether you’re struggling with pesky love handles, tummy fat or bra bulges, CLATUU has got you covered. It is a quick and effective procedure that requires no surgery, no downtime and minimal discomfort.

Here we learn a little more about the treatment and what’s involved.

How does CLATUU destroy fat?

CLATUU destroys fat through a ‘fat-freezing’ process known as cryolipolysis. This process uses almost-freezing temperatures to kill fat cells and it does so without traumatizing the surrounding tissues or harming the skin.

The body then naturally disposes of the unwanted fat cells over the next couple of months following treatment.

So, what’s involved?

Performed in an in-office setting, all up the treatment takes around an hour and does not require any anaesthesia or sedation. Our specialist dermatology staff will measure the area and design the exact position for the procedure.

A gel is placed over the treatment area to protect your skin before the applicator is placed onto the fat pocket, where it remains for about 60 minutes. The applicator acts like a vacuum to suck the area into position (you may feel a slight tugging) and direct the cold temperature to target the fat cells under the skin.

You will typically experience a gradual cooling sensation, but this subsides as the body gets used to the temperature. Most patients describe the treatment as being very tolerable and experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

During the treatment, you will be in a comfortable position, so it’s a great opportunity for you to relax, read or catch up on a few TV shows as you wish.

After the treatment, the area may feel a bit stiff and cold, however this usually disappears after about 30 minutes as the skin and underlying tissues soften back to room temperature. Our specialist dermatology staff with use an electronic device that massages the frozen area to speed up the permanent breakdown of the frozen fat cells and increase their removal by the body’s natural removal mechanisms.

What areas can be treated?

CLATUU works best for people who have isolated pockets of resistant fat and can be applied to the following regions:

– Lower belly
– Flanks
– ‘Love handles’
– Thigh fat commonly known as ‘saddle bags’
– Bra bulges
– Back fat
– Upper arms

What are the results?

You will begin to experience noticeable and measurable changes approximately 4-6 weeks after your first procedure, when the fatty deposits are gradually reduced. The results will continue to improve for the next three months. The best part? Results are permanent and even if you put on weight, it will not accumulate to the same extent in the treated areas ever again!

Is CLATUU right for me?

CLATUU could be the right solution for you if you are in good physical shape but have some problematic areas of fat bulges such as muffin tops, upper arm, belly, love handles, back bulges, bra flaps, fat deposits on the thighs and flanks. It is important to keep in mind that CLATUU is not a procedure for weight loss or people who suffer from obesity.

Why CLATUU?

Not only is CLATUU completely non-invasive, but it also achieves a natural body shaping and contouring result that is permanent. The minimal downtime allows you to schedule your CLATUU treatment into your normal routine, and you can expect to return to your daily activities straight after the procedure.
