Cryolipolysis for fat reduction and body contouring: safety and efficacy of current treatment paradigms.

Abstract in brief

• Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction technique that appears to be safe in the short term, with mild side effects like redness, swelling, and pain, and shows promising results in reducing localized fat.
• A systematic review of 19 clinical studies found that cryolipolysis can reduce fat measurements by roughly 10-28%, with no significant negative effects on lipid levels or liver function.
• While effective for body contouring and an alternative to surgery, it is still unclear if additional treatments or manual massage after the procedure improve results.]
