Call 905-440-7520At New Dawn Walk-in and Family Practice, we offer fat freezing treatments in Oshawa for eligible patients looking to improve body contours without surgery or lengthy downtime. Every treatment begins with a medical consultation to determine whether fat freezing is appropriate for your goals.
What Is Fat Freezing?
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non surgical body contouring treatment that uses carefully controlled cooling to target fat cells beneath the skin.
Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than many surrounding tissues. During treatment, controlled cooling is applied to the selected area. Over time, the body naturally processes and removes the treated fat cells, helping improve the appearance of localized fat deposits.
Fat freezing is designed for body contouring rather than weight loss. It is intended for individuals with stubborn fat pockets that have not responded to healthy lifestyle measures.
How Does Fat Freezing Work?
Cryolipolysis works by exposing targeted fat cells to carefully controlled cooling.
The cooling process affects fat cells while minimizing impact on nearby skin and surrounding tissues. Following treatment, the body gradually breaks down and removes the treated fat cells through natural metabolic processes over the following weeks and months.
Because this process takes time, visible changes develop gradually rather than immediately.

Treatment Day
The treatment applicator is positioned over the selected area and controlled cooling begins. Many patients experience sensations of cold, pulling or pressure during the first few minutes, which usually lessen as the area becomes numb. Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated.
Recovery and Results
Recovery After Fat Freezing
Most patients are able to resume their normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
Temporary effects may include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Tingling
- Temporary numbness
These effects generally improve as the treated area heals.
When Will I See Results?
Because the body naturally removes treated fat cells over time, visible changes develop gradually.
Some patients notice changes within several weeks, while additional improvement may continue over the following months.
The number of treatments recommended depends on your body, treatment area and desired outcome.
Fat Freezing Versus Surgical Fat Reduction
Fat freezing is a non surgical treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits.
Unlike liposuction, there are no surgical incisions or general anesthesia.
A consultation helps determine which treatment approach best aligns with your individual goals.
Safety Considerations
Fat freezing is a medical procedure and should be performed only after an appropriate assessment.
Your provider will discuss:
- Expected benefits
- Possible risks
- Potential side effects
- Alternative treatment options
- Whether treatment is appropriate for your health history
Certain medical conditions, including some cold related disorders, may make fat freezing unsuitable for some patients.
