Short Answer: Yes, but there are precautions to consider. At Carica Studio, we prioritize your long-term wellness goals over bookings. I.C.E. Fat Freezing is specifically engineered to target pinchable, stubborn subcutaneous fat pockets (such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, and double chin) that resist diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss solution for visceral fat (the hard fat underneath the muscle layer). We provide a completely free initial consultation at our Kerobokan location to evaluate your tissue texture, measure the area, and ensure you are an ideal candidate before any booking is confirmed.
Please Read the Following Guidelines:
🚫 Group 1: Absolute Contraindications (NEVER Treat)
I.C.E. Fat Freezing cannot be performed on anyone with the following conditions. The extreme cold or vacuum suction could cause severe injury or device malfunctions:
Active Medical Implants: Anyone with an implanted pacemaker, defibrillator, or other electronic medical devices.
Life-Support Equipment: Anyone utilizing artificial heart-lung machines or wearable ECG/cardiac monitoring devices.
Extreme Cold Sensitivities: Patients diagnosed with cold urticaria (cold hives), Raynaud’s disease, cryoglobulinemia, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
Severe Circulatory & Skin Conditions: Anyone with severe frostbite, active chilblains, or poor local blood circulation.
Severe Systemic Illnesses: Severe/uncontrolled diabetes, advanced cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, severe hypertension (high blood pressure), kidney failure, or advanced mental illness/epilepsy.
Pregnancy & Active Infections: Women who are pregnant, anyone with an active severe infection, or an active malignant tumor (cancer).
Inability to Communicate: Anyone who is intoxicated, has a high fever, or lacks the mental/physical capacity to independently sense pain or give clear feedback during the treatment.
⚠️ Group 2: Requires Medical Clearance (Doctor’s Note Required)
Clients required to provide written approval from their primary physician:
Anyone currently undergoing medical treatment for an acute (sudden/severe) illness.
Anyone with an undiagnosed, abnormal, or unstable medical condition.
Anyone with an active, chronic immune system dysfunction.
🛑 Group 3: Precautions & Special Adjustments (Treat with Caution)
These situations require strict oversight, modified placement, or waiting until the condition resolves:
Body Alterations: Do not place the vacuum cup directly over areas with metal implants, artificial bones, mesh, cosmetic surgery modifications, or artificial dermal fillers. (Note: I.C.E. Facial, this only applies if treating the submental/double chin area if internal metal pins or severe dental metal are present nearby).
Skin Integrity: Never perform any I.C.E. Fat Freezing over wounded, broken, bruised, sunburned, or actively infected skin.
Age Restrictions (must be over 21+): Elderly clients who cannot physically tolerate cold therapies or communicate discomfort easily.
Menstruation: Women who are currently on their period can be treated, but note that abdominal vacuum pressure may increase temporary cramping or discomfort.
