Isothermal Cryolipolysis Enhancement

I.C.E. Fat Freezing stands for ( Isothermal Cryolipolysis Enhancement ). It is an advanced, non-invasive body contouring treatment that exposes stubborn fat pockets to precision, sub-zero temperatures. Unlike traditional, older-generation fat freezing machines that only cool from two flat plates, our certified system utilizes high-performance 360° vacuum isolation cup applicators. This draws the tissue completely into the cup, restricting localized blood flow and delivering uniform cooling from all sides to crystalize fat cells without harming the surrounding skin or nerves.

The key difference lies in our strict isothermal thermal management protocol. Standard cryolipolysis devices often suffer from temperature fluctuations due to older thermal plate designs or poor cup insulation, which can compromise results or cause uneven treatment zones. Our advanced I.C.E. protocol maintains a perfectly steady, constant sub-zero temperature throughout the entire session. This precision control maximizes cellular apoptosis (natural fat cell death) while ensuring optimal skin safety, comfort, and uniform, predictable body sculpting results.

The number of sessions varies depending on individual goals, body BMI, treatment areas and desired results. During your consultation assessment, your Carica Studio I.C.E. Clinician will recommend a personalized treatment plan designed to support your fat reduction and body contouring wellness objectives. Typical amount of sessions for lasting results is 4-8 even though you will see results after only 1 session.

Our I.C.E. Fat Freezing procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes per area plus another 15 minutes of lymphatic massage post treatment, allowing you to walk right out of our Kerobokan studio and immediately return to your normal vacation activities, dining, or light exploring. However, because the treated skin can experience temporary redness, numbness, or mild tenderness, we recommend avoiding direct, intense tropical sun exposure, high-heat saunas, or swimming in public pools for the first 24 to 48 hours to let the skin barrier completely settle.

Fat cell clearance is a gradual, biological process. Right after the applicator is removed, our trained therpaists perform a precise manual lymphatic massage to break down the frozen lipid crystals and accelerate cell death. Your body's lymphatic system will then naturally flush out the destroyed adipocytes over the coming days & weeks. While some initial changes can be noticed within 8 days, the most dramatic, visible fat layer reduction occurs between multiple sessions over 4 to 6 week post-treatment, we always invite you back for your official follow-up measurements at your next session.

Yes, the results are anatomically permanent. Adults do not grow new fat cells; our existing fat cells simply expand or shrink when we gain or lose weight. I.C.E. Cryolipolysis permanently destroys a significant percentage of fat cells in the targeted area, and once they are processed through the lymphatic system, they cannot return. Most clients achieve excellent contouring goals in just 4 to 8 sessions per target zone, provided a stable lifestyle, healthy diet, and proper hydration are maintained to support ongoing lymphatic health.

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.
