Some areas of fat can remain even when you eat well, exercise regularly and maintain a relatively stable weight. Clatuu is a non-surgical fat-freezing treatment designed to reduce selected pockets of stubborn fat and create a smoother, more defined body contour.
During treatment, the targeted fat layer is gently drawn into an applicator and cooled in a controlled way. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissue, allowing the treatment to target the fat layer without surgery or injections.
At Clinic RX, your treatment is personalised according to the area you want to improve, the thickness of the fat layer, your body shape and your individual contouring goals.
What Is Clatuu?
Clatuu is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that uses cryolipolysis, commonly known as fat freezing, to reduce selected pockets of localised fat.
It is designed for areas that can be difficult to change through diet and exercise alone, such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, back or upper arms.
Instead of removing fat surgically, Clatuu cools the targeted fat cells to a controlled temperature. The affected cells are then gradually processed and cleared by the body over the following weeks.
Clatuu is intended for body contouring rather than overall weight loss. It works best when the concern is a specific pocket of pinchable fat rather than a large amount of general body fat.
How Does Clatuu Work?
During treatment, a Clatuu applicator is placed over the selected area. Gentle suction draws the targeted fat layer into the applicator, where it is exposed to controlled cooling.
Fat cells are particularly sensitive to cold. The cooling process causes the targeted fat cells to crystallise and undergo a natural breakdown process, while the surrounding skin and tissue are preserved.
Your body then gradually clears the affected fat cells through its normal biological processes. Because this takes time, the treated area becomes slimmer and more contoured progressively rather than immediately after the session.
Clatuu can use two applicators at the same time, allowing suitable paired areas to be treated together and making treatment more efficient.
What Can Clatuu Help With?
- Stubborn fat that remains despite diet and exercise
- Localised abdominal fat
- Love handles / flank fat
- Inner or outer thigh fat
- Back or bra-line bulges
- Upper-arm fat
- Selected double-chin fat
- Body areas that look less proportionate because of a localised fat pocket
Clatuu is designed to reduce selected subcutaneous fat. It does not treat obesity, visceral fat around the internal organs or significant loose skin.
Areas That Can Be Treated with Clatuu
Clatuu can be used on several areas where there is a suitable layer of pinchable subcutaneous fat.
- Abdomen
- Flanks / love handles
- Thighs
- Back
- Upper arms
- Double chin area
The best applicator and treatment plan depend on the size, shape and thickness of the fat pocket. Your doctor will assess the area before treatment.
Clatuu for Different Body Concerns

- Changes may begin within several weeks, with fuller improvement commonly developing over 6–12 weeks
- Treatment Course
- Depends on fat thickness, treatment area and individual goals
What Results Can I Expect from Clatuu?
Clatuu results are gradual. You will not leave the clinic immediately looking significantly slimmer because the body needs time to process the treated fat cells.
Depending on your treatment area, starting fat thickness and individual response, you may notice:
- A thinner-looking fat layer in the treated area
- A smoother and more defined body contour
- Reduced appearance of selected stubborn bulges
- Improved body proportion
- Clothes fitting more smoothly around the treated area
Initial changes may become noticeable within several weeks, while fuller results commonly develop over approximately 6–12 weeks as the body continues clearing the affected fat cells.
Results vary between individuals. Clatuu is intended for targeted contouring and should not be expected to produce the same degree of fat removal as liposuction.
Who Is Suitable for Clatuu?
- People with selected pockets of pinchable localised fat
- People who are relatively close to a stable body weight
- People whose stubborn fat has not responded as much as they would like to diet and exercise
- People who want a non-surgical fat-reduction option
- People who prefer minimal downtime
- People with realistic expectations about gradual body-contouring results
Clatuu is not a weight-loss programme. Your doctor will assess whether the area you want to treat contains suitable subcutaneous fat before recommending treatment.
Who May Not Be Suitable for Clatuu?
Clatuu may not be suitable for everyone, particularly when cold exposure or suction could pose a medical risk.
- Pregnancy
- Certain cold-related conditions such as cryoglobulinaemia, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria
- Active infection, inflammation or open wounds in the treatment area
- Significant circulation problems in the proposed treatment area
- Certain hernias in or near the treatment area
- Recent surgery in the area that has not fully healed
- Conditions that may affect sensation or the body's response to cold
Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, previous surgery, medications and any unusual sensitivity to cold before treatment.
Clatuu Side Effects & Risks
Temporary changes in the treated area are common after fat freezing and usually settle gradually.
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Numbness or tingling
- Temporary sensitivity
- Aching or cramping
Some people may experience delayed discomfort or sensory changes for longer than a few days.
A rare but important complication of cryolipolysis is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, where the treated fat area becomes larger rather than smaller. Your doctor should discuss this and other relevant risks with you before treatment.
Is There Downtime After Clatuu?
Downtime is generally minimal, and most clients can return to work and normal daily activities after treatment.
The area may look red or swollen and can feel numb, tender or sensitive for a period after the session. These effects usually improve gradually.
Because Clatuu does not involve surgery, there are no surgical wounds or stitches.
Clatuu Aftercare
- Stay well hydrated
- Maintain a balanced diet and regular physical activity
- Wear comfortable clothing if the treated area feels tender or swollen
- Avoid unnecessary irritation or excessive heat to the area for the first 24–48 hours if advised
- Do not aggressively massage a painful or sensitive area unless instructed
- Follow your doctor's personalised aftercare advice
- Contact Clinic RX if you experience severe, unusual or persistent symptoms
Maintaining a relatively stable weight can help preserve your overall body contour after treatment.
How Many Clatuu Sessions Do I Need?
Some clients may notice a meaningful change after one treatment, while others may benefit from additional sessions.
The number of sessions recommended depends on:
- Treatment area
- Thickness and size of the fat pocket
- Your desired degree of contouring
- How your body responds to treatment
- Whether more than one area is being treated
Because results develop gradually, your doctor may recommend waiting for the treated area to settle and the fat-reduction response to develop before deciding whether another session is needed.
How Much Does Clatuu Cost?
The cost of Clatuu depends on the treatment area, the number of applicators or cycles required and whether one or multiple areas are being treated.
For example, a small localised area may require a different treatment plan from treating both flanks or a larger abdominal area.
At Clinic RX, the area is assessed first so the recommended treatment and pricing match your actual body-contouring concern.

Clatuu FAQs
What is Clatuu?
Clatuu is a non-invasive fat-freezing treatment that uses controlled cooling to reduce selected pockets of localised subcutaneous fat.
Does Clatuu really freeze fat?
Yes. Cryolipolysis cools targeted fat cells to a controlled temperature that triggers their gradual breakdown. The body then clears the affected cells over time.
Is Clatuu a weight-loss treatment?
No. Clatuu is designed for localised fat reduction and body contouring rather than significant overall weight loss.
Is Clatuu painful?
At the beginning, you may feel intense cold, pulling or pressure as the applicator starts cooling. The area usually becomes numb after several minutes, making the rest of the session more comfortable.
When will I see results?
Changes are gradual. Initial improvement may appear within several weeks, with fuller results commonly developing around 6–12 weeks.
How many sessions do I need?
Some clients are satisfied after one session, while others may benefit from additional treatment depending on fat thickness and their contouring goals.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, tingling or tenderness can occur.
Are the fat cells permanently gone?
Fat cells affected and cleared after cryolipolysis do not regenerate in the same way, but remaining fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight. Maintaining a stable lifestyle is important for preserving your contour.
Can Clatuu tighten loose skin?
Clatuu is primarily a fat-reduction treatment. If loose skin is your main concern, your doctor may recommend a skin-tightening treatment instead or discuss a combination approach.
Can Clatuu treat belly fat?
It can treat suitable pinchable subcutaneous abdominal fat. It does not treat visceral fat located deeper around the internal organs.
Can Clatuu be combined with other body treatments?
Yes, in suitable clients. If you also have loose skin or reduced muscle definition, your doctor may discuss combining or sequencing Clatuu with other body-contouring treatments.
Which is better: Clatuu, HIFU Body or Emsculpt NEO?
They address different concerns. Clatuu focuses on selected localised fat, HIFU Body is more suitable when skin firmness and contour are priorities, and Emsculpt NEO focuses on muscle tone and definition together with selected fat concerns. Your doctor can assess which best matches your body goal.
