Losing body fat is big business and one of the latest approaches is CoolSculpting ®, also called Cryolipolysis®. The word 'Cryolipolysis' literally means "cold fat loss", and CoolSculpting works by chilling the skin so that the underlying fat cells are reduced. I've found that a similar effect can be produced at home for almost no cost.
=CoolSculpting=
CoolSculpting uses an FDA approved device to chill the skin for up to an hour<ref name="CyroMeta"/>, with a session lasting one to three hours<ref name="CSFaq"/>, producing a reduction in the fat thickness in the treated area. Animal and human studies have shown a reduction in fat thickness between 20% and 80% over 3 months following treatment<ref name="ClNelson"/>. The device sucks the skin and underlying fat into a cup<ref name="CryroNerves"/>. More than one treatment can be used, but the results of the second treatment are not as dramatic as the first<ref name="CryroChin"/>. CoolSculpting is considered an alternative to liposuction, which is the most common type of plastic surgery.
