At The Greville Clinic, we take a clinical yet compassionate approach to body sculpting. While technology has advanced rapidly, the principles remain the same: targeted fat reduction and effective skin tightening need to work in synergy. That’s why we often recommend combining Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) with Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening — not just to treat stubborn fat, but to support firmer, smoother contours without surgical intervention.
How Cryolipolysis Works
Cryolipolysis is a controlled cooling treatment designed to reduce localised fat pockets by triggering fat cell apoptosis. At The Greville Clinic, we use the Cristal Pro™, a French-engineered, TGA-registered medical device known for its safety, precision, and ability to treat up to four areas at once. This treatment is particularly effective on areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin.
Unlike weight loss, which shrinks fat cells, Cryolipolysis eliminates them — permanently. The body metabolises the crystallised fat cells gradually over the following weeks, producing a slimmer, more contoured silhouette.
Why RF Skin Tightening Complements Fat Freezing
Fat reduction alone doesn’t always address skin laxity — and in many cases, losing volume can highlight sagging. That’s where RF skin tightening steps in.
Radiofrequency uses gentle, focused thermal energy to heat the dermal layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over a series of sessions, this strengthens the skin matrix, tightens tissue, and enhances tone and elasticity. As a dermal clinician, I find RF particularly beneficial in supporting skin post-fat reduction to prevent crepiness and maintain a firm appearance.
We generally recommend beginning RF treatments 1 week after fat freezing, with 3–6 weekly sessions depending on the area and skin condition.
Who It’s For
This combined approach is ideal for clients seeking to:
- Reduce localised, diet-resistant fat
- Prevent or correct mild to moderate skin laxity
- Avoid surgical procedures
- Achieve a more sculpted, refined body contour
Whether you’re working on love handles, arms, inner thighs, or the postnatal abdomen, our treatment strategy is always evidence-informed and aligned with safety standards.
