Cryolipolysis in Penang | CANVAS Medical Clinic
Freeze away stubborn fat — physician-supervised cryolipolysis at our Gurney Walk clinic in George Town. A non-invasive, no-downtime treatment that destroys fat cells with controlled cooling, for the pinchable pockets diet and exercise leave behind.
What is Cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis — commonly called fat freezing — reduces localised fat by exploiting a simple fact: fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than the skin, nerves and tissue around them. A controlled-cooling applicator lowers the fat pocket to a precise temperature that crystallises and destroys the fat cells, which the body then clears naturally over the following weeks, leaving surrounding structures unharmed.
At CANVAS Medical Clinic in George Town, Penang, cryolipolysis is a non-invasive, no-downtime option for the stubborn, pinchable pockets that resist diet and training — lower abdomen, flanks (love handles), back rolls, and inner or outer thighs. It is a contouring treatment for patients near their target weight, not a method of weight loss.
How it works
- Consultation & assessment. Your physician confirms the pocket is suited to fat freezing and sets honest expectations for cycles and results.
- Applicator placement. The area is marked and the cooling applicator applied; the tissue is drawn in as controlled cooling begins.
- Controlled cooling. The fat is held at a fat-destroying temperature for around 35–60 minutes while skin and surrounding tissue are protected. You can read or rest.
- Natural clearance. Over eight to twelve weeks the body clears the destroyed fat cells, and the contour change appears gradually.

Who it's for
Cryolipolysis may be suitable if you:
- Have stubborn, pinchable fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
- Are near your target weight and want to refine specific areas
- Want non-invasive fat reduction without surgery or downtime
- Have defined pockets on the abdomen, flanks, back or thighs
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking change
- Understand it contours pockets rather than reducing overall weight
Cryolipolysis is for localised fat contouring, not weight loss, and is best suited to patients near their target weight. It is not suitable with certain cold-related conditions or over hernias; suitability is assessed by a physician. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
Cryolipolysis vs EXION vs fat-dissolving injections
Three ways to reduce a fat pocket, non-surgically. Cryolipolysis freezes and destroys fat cells for the body to clear. BTL EXION uses radiofrequency and ultrasound to melt fat while also tightening skin. Fat-dissolving injections break down small pockets chemically.
Larger pinchable pockets often suit freezing; areas needing skin tightening too may suit EXION; small precise pockets (chin, knees) suit injectables. Your CANVAS physician will match the method — or combination — to the area.
