If you’ve been researching fat freezing, you’ve probably noticed one thing: the market is crowded. Some clinics advertise fat freezing at bargain prices, while others (like Body Catalyst) charge more. On the surface, it might look like the same treatment for a different price. But here’s the truth: not all fat freezing is created equal.
Think of it like cars. A luxury European car and a cheap imitation both have four wheels and an engine. But one is precision-engineered for safety, performance, and reliability, while the other rattles, breaks down, and never delivers what it promises. Fat freezing devices are the same: what’s under the hood matters.
At Body Catalyst, we use CLATUU 360° Surround Cooling, one of the most advanced fat freezing systems available. And it’s the difference between results you’ll love—and money you’ll regret spending.
Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) works by cooling fat cells to a precise temperature that triggers apoptosis—cell death—without damaging the surrounding skin or tissue. Over the weeks following treatment, your body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.
Sounds simple, right? Here’s the catch: fat cells are stubborn, and the temperature must be exact. Too warm, and nothing happens. Too cold, and you risk burns, frostbite, or nerve damage.
That’s why the quality of the machine—and the skill of the therapist—make all the difference between smooth, lasting results or disappointment and danger.
Cheaper machines like CoolShaping and CoolTech use flat plates that freeze fat from just two sides. It’s like trying to freeze a bottle of water by pressing ice packs on either side: the edges freeze, but the middle stays liquid.
CLATUU, on the other hand, uses 360° applicators that envelop the fat bulge completely, ensuring every fat cell within the handpiece is cooled evenly. This creates smoother contours and prevents the “shelving” effect many clients complain about after cheap treatments.
Cheap devices often spike and drop in temperature. That’s like baking a cake in an oven that keeps swinging from 150° to 250°—burnt outside, raw inside.
CLATUU maintains precise, -9 degrees consistent cooling throughout the treatment. This stability is critical: fat cells need a sustained chill to crystallise and die, while skin needs protection from damage.
Budget fat freezing often requires 3–5 sessions per area to notice even modest change. CLATUU’s precision and efficiency mean many clients see visible results after just 1–2 sessions.
So while the upfront price is higher, the overall cost, time, and emotional investment are much lower. You get to your goal faster—and with less stress.
Cheap devices usually offer only a handful of cup sizes, meaning poor fit, painful suction, or gaps in coverage.
CLATUU provides multiple applicator shapes and sizes, custom-fitted to areas like abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, and chin. That means greater comfort, more accurate targeting, and better end results.
This is where the stakes get high. Many cheap devices—particularly unbranded or non-TGA-approved imports—lack the safeguards needed to protect your skin. We’ve seen burns, blisters, frostbite, and long-term scarring from these machines.
At Body Catalyst, CLATUU’s advanced temperature monitoring, combined with our strict protocols, means your safety is never compromised.
When comparing fat freezing options, you’ll come across names like CoolShaping, CoolTech, Cryo Lipo, 3D Lipo, and countless generic “fat freezing” machines. Here’s how they stack up:
These devices rely on flat plates, cooling fat unevenly. The result? Inconsistent fat reduction and harsh edges. Many clients complain of discomfort and patchy outcomes.
Outdated, budget machines often lacking regulatory approval. Think of them as the budget airlines of fat freezing—uncomfortable, unpredictable, and not always safe.
These are the riskiest of all. Often bought cheaply online and used in discount clinics with little training, they’re the cosmetic equivalent of buying medicine from an unlicensed seller. The risks: burns, bruising, no results, or worse.

“I bought a Groupon deal for CoolShaping—three sessions for under $300. After weeks of bruising, I saw no results. At Body Catalyst, one session of CLATUU gave me a visible reduction in my stomach bulge. I learned the hard way: you get what you pay for.”
CLATUU remains the safest, most effective choice for larger, stubborn fat pockets.
It’s not just about having the best machine. At Body Catalyst, you also get:
We’re not a “press the button and hope for the best” clinic. We’re your transformation partner.
Here’s the hard truth: cheaper fat freezing is rarely cheaper in the long run. You’ll likely need more sessions, see weaker results, and risk burns or scarring.
Paying more upfront with CLATUU means:
“I thought fat freezing was all the same, so I went for the cheapest option. Big mistake. Months of wasted money later, I came to Body Catalyst. One CLATUU treatment gave me the result I was chasing. I wish I’d done it right the first time.”
Your body deserves the best. CLATUU’s 360° surround cooling, precise temperature control, and TGA approval make it the gold standard in fat freezing. And when paired with Body Catalyst’s expertise, you get the safest, fastest, and most effective path to fat reduction.
Bottom line: Bargain fat freezing looks tempting, but it often costs more in wasted time, wasted money, and potential harm. CLATUU is the premium choice—for premium results.
