The C16 suits body clinics, medical spas and aesthetic practices offering non-invasive fat reduction for the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms and under the chin, where cup sizes allow. Four handles let one visit cover several areas.
The ideal client is close to a stable, healthy weight with a distinct, pinchable bulge that has resisted diet and exercise. Results build over two to three months, and a review with photographs and measurements at around three months belongs in the plan. Clients who want overall weight loss, or whose main concern is loose skin, need a different treatment.
Safety runs through every appointment. Screening covers cold-related disorders, pregnancy, hernias, circulation problems and recent surgery in the area. A fresh gel membrane goes under every cup, the seal is checked when the cycle starts, and the skin is inspected when it ends. Written consent should name paradoxical adipose hyperplasia and explain the signs to watch for 2 to 4 months later.
Aftercare advice should cover the numbness and tenderness that commonly follow, gentle massage if the protocol includes it, and the symptoms that need a call back to the clinic. A follow-up call a few days later catches problems early. Records should note the cup size, programme, membrane batch and skin condition before and after.
Abroad, fat-freezing equipment faces its own mix of device classification and premises licensing, and some regulators scrutinise slimming claims closely. The conformity documentation required for those purchasing routes is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.
