Can Second Treatment Enhance Clinical Results in Cryolipolysis?

There is a large and increasing demand for body contouring and fat-reduction treatments. The gold standard continues to be surgical procedures such as liposuction. While clearly very effective, many patients do not want to assume the risks or the recovery time necessary with the invasive therapies, which has added to this pursuit for effective noninvasive body contouring procedures. Cryolipolysis, cold-induced apoptotic fat cell death, is emerging as a new noninvasive treatment for the reduction of localized subcutaneous fat pockets. The Cryolipolysis procedure is cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada, and the European Union for use as a noninvasive fat layer reduction procedure.
