“…Indeed, almost all subjects showed substantial improvements in skinfold thickness and corresponding clinically significant improvements in body contour, with only one of 28 patients considered to be a nonresponder. Importantly, the greater improvements in body contouring observed in the skinfold thickness assessment also appeared to enhance patient‐reported outcomes: the patient satisfaction rate (88%) was higher than has been previously observed 7,15 …”

Cryolipolysis is a nonsurgical body sculpting technique that uses controlled cooling for localized fat reduction. The aim of the present study was to assess whether an intensive regimen of CoolSculpting based on multiple cycles/sessions on the same body area(s) could yield greater (more clinically significant) improvements in body contour. This was a prospective analysis of consecutive, healthy, adult patients undergoing CoolSculpting in routine practice across a variety of treatment areas. Patients underwent ≤4 cycles of CoolSculpting per body area during an initial treatment session, and ≤4 further cycles 4 weeks later (if required). They were followed up for ≥12 weeks. Twenty-eight patients were enrolled (n = 26 female; mean age: 51.6 ± 9.0 years; mean body weight: 69.4 ± 13.7 kg). They were treated across 58 body areas: 48 in a single session; 10 across two sessions. The mean number of cycles per area was 2.8 ± 1.5. Twenty-seven patients (54 body areas) were considered as treatment "responders." In these individuals, mean skinfold thickness decreased from 35.4 ± 9.9 mm pretreatment to 22.2 ± 7.6 mm at 12 weeks (mean change: −40%; P < .001). Mean change in skinfold thickness was greater with ≥3 vs 1 to 2 cycles of CoolSculpting (P = .01). Patient satisfaction was high (n = 51/58; 88%). No adverse events were recorded. The study shows that multiple cycles/sessions of CoolSculpting can safely improve overall treatment benefit in body contouring, with greater decreases in skinfold thickness than have typically been previously observed.

Controlled freezing is used to reduce subcutaneous tissue, without skin and adjacent tissue injury, based on the hypothesis that the adipose tissue is highly sensitive to low temperatures.…”

Background Localized fat is a matter of great concern among individuals from today's society. Cryolipolysis is a noninvasive technique that have shown great results in reducing localized fat. Aims To analyze the efficacy of cryoplipolysis on visible local fat reduction in submental region, arms, or male breast (pseudogynecomastia) in Brazilian subjects, and to assess possible factors associated with treatment success. Methods Single‐arm, nonrandomized trial, with volunteers from both genders with visible excess fat in the arms or submental region or men presenting pseudogynecomastia. Eligible subjects were submitted to physical, photographic, and ultrasound analysis before and three months after intervention. A single cryolipolysis session was performed using specific methods for each region, followed by a local massage for two minutes. Data were described as measures of central tendency and dispersion and measures of frequency. Reduction in measurements and factors associated with treatment success was analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results Thirty‐six subjects underwent one session of cryolipolysis in each area (22 subjects treated the arms, 20 the submental region and 9 the breast). In general, a mean reduction of 19.1% was observed. Significant differences were observed for almost all body parts analyzed. Body mass index was the only variable showing a significant relationship with intervention results. Conclusions Cryolipolysis is a useful noninvasive tool in reduction of visible localized fat in arms and submental region and of pseudogynecomastia. Obese subjects are not benefited by the treatment.
