Abstract

Cryolipolysis is a nonsurgical technique for localized fat reduction and it is a promising procedure for nonsurgical fat reduction and body contouring. It presents a compelling alternative to liposuction or any other invasive methods. This procedure appears to be safe in the short term, with limited adverse effects, and results in significant fat reduction when used for localized adiposities.
