The Zeltiq™ Procedure is a new, non-invasive technology designed to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of the body.
The result is a noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas, such as abdominal fat, love handles (flanks) and/or back fat.
The CoolSculpting procedure using Cryolipolysis is fundamentally different from other non- or minimally-invasive modalities. Other methods of fat removal primarily involve necrotic cell death by damaging fat with heat, high-intensity focused ultrasound, or chemical injections.
Each approach poses potential technical challenges, particularly with respect to targeting the right tissue depth and unintended damage to other structures close to or within the fat layer.
Predictability of efficacy using these other techniques is also uncertain. In contrast, the CoolSculpting procedure using Cryolipolysis induces apoptosis only in fat cells to gently and gradually reduce the fat layer while preserving all other tissue.
