There are a lot of gimmicky products out there for weight loss and fat removal, it’s hard to know what really works. Fat freezing devices have been popular lately, but do they really work? Below, we reviewed the best products for fat freezing at home that gave real women real results on their problem areas (AKA those pesky spots where stubborn fat just won’t go away, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do).
Whether it’s found on your belly, thighs, chin, neck, or upper arms, excess fat can feel impossible to banish — especially as you get older. The good news is there are non-invasive procedures that can help: namely, cryolipolysis, or “fat freezing,” which was first cleared by the FDA back in 2010.
Professional cryolipolysis is pricey. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of professional cryolipolysis in 2017 was a whopping $1,481 per session. Since the average patient will need two to three sessions per treatment area, that can quickly add up to somewhere between $2,962 to $4,443, for those of you doing the math.
At-home fat freezing alternatives are not only cheaper than in-spa sessions, but you can often achieve similar results. These home fat freezing systems also use cold temperature to banish stubborn fat, but for a fraction of the price.
While you’ll want to follow instructions carefully and be extra careful around your skin with these ice-cold products, when used properly, they can deliver impressive results. You may not see extra pounds coming off, per se, but you could see up to 25 percent less fat in your chosen treatment area according to the makers of one such at-home brand, Isavera.
A word of caution: As the CoolSculpting Center of NYC notes, ideal candidates for fat freezing will be near their goal weight with no excess loose skin but will still have enough fat (you should be able to pinch about an inch) to benefit from the procedure.
Simply put, fat freezing, also known by its medical term of cryolipolysis, is a fat-blasting treatment that works by killing off your fat cells. In fact, it works so well, more than 450,000 procedures have been performed around the world in the decade thats followed its introduction!
As PlasticSurgery.org explains, this popular non-surgical procedure works by freezing unwanted fat cells to banish them for good.
Thats because when fat cells are exposed to cold, they crystalize (or freeze), eventually dying off over time. From there, your lymphatic system can permanently eliminate them, effectively removing your unwanted fat.
The procedure doesn’t require anesthesia or any incisions, and your “skin and other structures are spared from injury” as your fat cells freeze, since they’re more susceptible to cold than other types of cells.
These fat freezing devices got the best reviews from real women.
With a 4.5-star rating on Amazon from nearly 2,000 reviewers, Isavera’s fat freezing system is the best-rated at-home cryolipolysis option around. It can be used on your tummy, thighs, arms, and more to help fat crystallize your fat cells and make them slowly disappear. All you have to do is freeze the custom-formulated reusable gel packs, place them inside the patent-pending belt, and wrap the whole thing tightly around your target area. For optimal results, this system should be worn for 60 minutes a day, three days a week, for 8 to 10 weeks. A pro tip? For an even better outcome, you’ll want to massage the area post-treatment for two to three minutes using the included hand massager.
Happy customer: “I’m at that lovely age of 60 with stubborn tummy fat. … CoolSculpting is just too expensive, so I thought I would give this a try. The results astounded me after one month.”
If you’re looking to tighten up your chin or neck, Fat Freezer’s chin and neck sculpting system is just the thing. This handheld device will battle these problem areas through the power of cryolipolysis. It offers three modes for a complete pampering experience: Start off with the cryolipolysis mode, which drops the temperature down to help slim your jawline, neck, and even cheeks. Turn on UltraSonic mode when you want to enjoy a massage and penetrate deeper, then finish things off with the Hot Massage mode, which warms up the machine. Even better, this three-in-one solution can also help reduce wrinkles, decrease redness and puffiness, and tighten pores.
Happy customer: “This product has successfully worked on my face and neck fat but I’ve also used it on other areas of my body like my arms and it works! It’s an amazing surprise. It’s worth every penny.”
Arms can be a notoriously tough area to rid of stubborn fat, but Isavera’s Arm Sculpting Freezing System will hone in on the inner, outer, and underarm areas to deliver an overall toned look. Simply freeze the patent-pending gel packs in your freezer (there are eight in this kit), place them into the provided pockets of the included neoprene arm wraps, wrap them tightly around your arms, and relax. You’ll want to wear these for 60 minutes per day, three times per week, for a total of 10 to 12 weeks to help banish unwanted arm flab. For optimal results, use the included massager to finish each fat freezing session with a two to three-minute massage.
Happy customer: “I’ve had it for a few days already and so far I’ve lost a half-inch around my arms! This kit is so effective and they really give you everything you need from measuring, fat percentage, massager and of course the fat freezing system itself. I love this. If you had a hard time struggling with fat loss in your arms like I have in the past, this will definitely help you.”
This at-home fat freezing option will help freeze your fat away with its cooling unit. To use it, apply wrap the belt around your target area and choose between a 30 and 60-minute treatment. For optimal results, the brand recommends using it up to six months regularly.
Happy customer: “First of all, it’s a great product. It does exactly what it says. It’s painless and extremely easy to use. I highly recommend to get this product if you want to lose some of the fat. I was bit hesitant to give it a try first but it had became a daily routine for me.”
Think of the ESARORA roller for face and eyes as a lite version of the other at-home cryolipolysis systems found on our list. Powerful but safe enough for everyday use, this roller will chill your face to fight wrinkles, relieve fatigue, shrink pores, and more. It’s also great for alleviating redness caused by menopause. It takes just 10 to 15 minutes to drop down to its ideal temperature in the freezer. Once frozen, take the roller head, pop it onto the handle, and enjoy the cooling sensation as you massage your face and neck.
Happy customer: “I use this ice roller in my esthetician treatment room after extractions, peels and/or waxing. My clients love it! It drastically reduces inflammation and swelling.”
The curved, adjustable design of this fat-freezing belt will allow you to use this product on your love handles, arms, stomach, or thighs. After removing the belt, be sure to massage the treatment area for optimal results.
Happy customer: “I had some flabby/loose skin after pregnancy and I read that a combination of micro-needling and red light therapy was a good solution to alleviate this. This belt was the perfect way to use red light”
If you’re looking to tone and tighten, the Ultimate Fat Freezer can be used to target pretty much any “soft” area, including the waist, thighs, arms, back, and bum. It relies on scientifically-proven cold lipolysis technology to freeze and dissolve fat cells, leaving you with a thinner fat layer and a more toned appearance. Depending on your goals, you can choose from two sessions: 30 minutes for toning, and 60 minutes for fat reduction. Simply place one of the protective pads over the area you’re targeting, wrap the velcro belt with the fat freezing device around the area, plug it in, and turn it on!
Happy customer: “Great product!!!!! Since I started using this I’ve noticed I lost 1.5″ off my stomach in six weeks. (This has always been a very stubborn area for me despite using my elliptical and exercise ball).”
Tone on-the-go with this cordless fat-freezing system! Perfect for travel, you can use this belt while taking a walk, watching tv, doing household tasks — pretty much anytime, anywhere! Proprietary Theralight Therapy targets fat cells, while advanced Cryolipolysis technology freezes them away, so you’ll feel trimmer and more sculpted whether you’re out and about or relaxing at home.
Happy customer: “Love the Fat Freezer company and their devices! … My husband got me this one as I have always used the Fat Freezer for my love handles come summertime. This new generation is actually cordless so I can do my errands and lose my love handles at the same time!”
