What’s Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is a method intended to remove fat by freezing – better known by the brand name CoolSculpting. It destroys about 20%-25% of the fat cells in the targeted area by cooling them to a temperature of −11 to +5 °C (+12.2 to +41 °F) while leaving the skin and other tissues unharmed. The procedure is not surgery and doesn’t involve needles._x000D_
