Coolsculpting is a non surgical method for spot fat reduction. The skin and fat is cooled by the device to a temperature close to freezing. This causes some of the fat cells to go away. This really does work and coolsculpting has a long history of safety and effectiveness. Generally the fat does not recur in the same area unless you gain weight. The best candidates for coolsculpting have small areas of excess fat. Multiple treatments are generally required for the best results.
