Key takeaways
- Doctor involvement is essential for safe and appropriate CoolSculpting planning
Fat reduction with CoolSculpting Elite requires medical assessment to determine suitability, mark treatment areas accurately, and prescribe the correct sized applicators to draw in the excess body fat on the treatment area. At Halley Body Slimming Clinic, doctors—not clinic assistants—plan and oversee each treatment. - Research shows strong patient satisfaction when CoolSculpting is doctor‑managed
Clinical studies co‑authored by Dr. Terence Tan highlight that when cryolipolysis is performed according to medical protocols and under medical supervision, patients report high satisfaction rates, noticeable fat reduction, and good tolerance of the procedure. - CoolSculpting Elite is a non‑invasive fat reduction method with minimal downtime
The technology uses controlled cooling to freeze and remove unwanted fat cells in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, chin, arms, and thighs. Patients typically resume daily activities immediately after treatment. - Halley Body Slimming Clinic offers doctor‑led, customised CoolSculpting Elite protocols
Each treatment plan is personalised by our doctors, supported by clinical data and the clinic’s own research. With approaches such as QuadSculpting which treats four non-overlapping areas at the same time, patients can address multiple areas efficiently while ensuring treatment safety.
Why Doctor-Directed care matters in CoolSculpting Elite
Does your doctor plan your CoolSculpting Elite fat reduction treatments for you? Did you know that although the task of assessing your concerns and marking out areas on your body for treatment seems like a straight-forward one that can be done by a therapist without input by doctors, fat reduction with CoolSculpting Elite does require the attention of a doctor to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
So, while you may choose to go to a spa or clinic for fat reduction without ever getting to see the doctor nor discussing your treatment plan with a medical professional in a bid to keep treatment cost low, bear in mind that you risk to lose more than just the money spent.
“CoolSculpting Elite fat reduction should be performed by doctors because they have the medical knowledge to evaluate your health, assess your suitability for the treatment, and manage any risks or complications that arise which therapists may not be equipped to handle,” explains Dr. Terence Tan, Medical Director of Halley Body Slimming Clinic.
“Doctors are trained to understand complex body contours as well as ensure the safe and correct placement of the CoolSculpting Elite applicator on areas of the body that requires treatment,” he adds. That is why at Halley Body Slimming Clinic, things are different.
The person who plans and manages each CoolSculpting Elite treatment is the doctor—not the clinic assistant. Even though all our clinic assistants are CoolSculpting Elite trained, all our patients’ CoolSculpting Elite fat reduction treatment is personally planned and overseen by a doctor. In fact, Dr. Terence Tan ensures that each patient’s treatment is carefully customised to their unique needs and body goals. This personalised approach is backed by extensive research and experience for safety and results.
Dr. Terence Tan’s role in the global CoolSculpting study “High Participant Satisfaction Achieved Using Cryolipolysis for Fat Reduction of the Abdomen and Flanks.”
Dr. Terence Tan is passionate about body contouring and was one of the key researchers in an international research titled, “High Participant Satisfaction Achieved Using Cryolipolysis for Fat Reduction of the Abdomen and Flanks.“ He is also the global advisor for CoolSculpting and has led two CoolSculpting studies in Singapore in Halley Body Slimming Clinic itself.
This study published in 2022 found that CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) for fat reduction in the flanks and abdomen led to high patient satisfaction, with 89.6% of participants reporting being “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their results. The treatment was also well-tolerated, showed noticeable fat reduction, and had no serious adverse effects, making it a safe and effective option for body contouring.
Some of the key findings that were highlighted include:
- High participant satisfaction: The study revealed that a significant majority of 89.6% participants were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their results. Most individuals (90.6%) experienced noticeable fat reduction after a single treatment, which led to improvements in body contours, especially around the abdomen and flanks.
- Effective fat reduction: The results of the study confirm that CoolSculpting is effective at targeting stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen and flanks, with 88.7% of participants reporting that treatment results were “about what was expected”. As this research had to be carried out in compliance with good clinical practice (i.e. under the care, management, and guidance of a doctor), this emphasises the correlation between doctor treatment during CoolSculpting and result from the CoolSculpting treatment.
3. Minimal downtime and discomfort: CoolSculpting is a no downtime, non-invasive treatment. Participants reported minimal discomfort during the procedure and little to no downtime afterward. This means that patients can continue with their daily activities without having to take time off for recovery, which is great for busy adults.
Dr. Terence Tan applied the clinical standards applied during this research and incorporated it into Halley Body Slimming Clinic’s CoolSculpting fat reduction treatment protocols to maximise fat reduction outcome for his patients. One of the treatment protocols he established is the doctor’s involvement in the entire treatment cycle – from the initial body assessment of the patient, marking of the treatment area, prescription of the number of cycles and size of the CoolSculpting applicators, and post-treatment assessment and review of the result.
Educational overview of CoolSculpting Elite technology
CoolSculpting Elite uses cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing to target and eliminate fat cells in stubborn areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin. The frozen fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time, leading to a slimmer, more sculpted appearance without the need for going under the knife or experiencing any downtime.
CoolSculpting Elite also gained popularity as a fat reduction and body sculpting treatment in Singapore due to the fact that it is non-invasive and has no downtime. Patients can return to their daily routines immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. The treatment’s results are natural and gradual, giving a more toned and contoured body over time.
CoolSculpting Elite is also a very versatile treatment as it works on a variety of body areas, including hard-to-treat areas such as the love handles, double chin, and bra fat.
