 Cryolipolysis is a body contouring technique that works by freezing the subcutaneous fat tissue to kill fat cells in the body, which in turn are then, ejected using the body’s own natural process. As a modern alternative to liposuction, it is instead a completely non-invasive technique that requires no surgery. Cryolipolysis has become well-liked thanks to help reduce excess, stubborn fat but without having to travel through the expense or the downtime related to traditional surgical methods. In fact, the thought of having surgery for many people and the long recovery time afterwards is something that has discouraged a lot of people from undergoing the previous forms of treatment.   With Cryolipolysis though, the normal reasons why people would avoid removing excess fat from the body are resolved. Cryolipolysis is also the technical name for the brand Cool Sculpting (launched by Zeltiq, since purchased by Allergan in 2017), which also includes other solutions such as the CoolMini. It is also known to many as “fat freezing.”   Cryolipolysis is administered by using applicators that are placed on the precise area that's to be treated, and therefore the skin and body during this area is then cooled down typically to below freezing temperatures. This then helps kill the fat cells in the area, but without damaging the skin. Some side effects may occur, including redness or even some bruising to the area, but this typically resolves itself quickly.
