CoolSculpting
(Redirected from Cryolipolysis)
CoolSculpting[edit | edit source]
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment developed by Zeltiq Aesthetics. It employs cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy unwanted fat cells, making it a popular alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction. Approved by the FDA, CoolSculpting is recognized for its safety and efficacy in fat reduction[1].
History[edit | edit source]
CoolSculpting was introduced in the late 2000s following research into the effects of cold on fat cells. The science behind the procedure, known as cryolipolysis, was discovered by Drs. Manstein and Anderson at the Massachusetts General Hospital[2].
Procedure[edit | edit source]
During a CoolSculpting session, a gel pad and applicator are placed on the targeted area. The applicator delivers controlled cooling to the fat cells underneath the skin, causing them to crystallize and die without affecting the surrounding tissues.
Safety and Efficacy[edit | edit source]
CoolSculpting has been FDA-approved since the early 2010s and is known for its safety profile. Several studies have documented its effectiveness in reducing fat layers by up to 25% in treated areas[3].
