Noninvasive selective cryolipolysis and reperfusion recovery for localized natural fat reduction and contouring.

Background: Cryolipolysis is a contemporary method of reducing fat by controlled extraction of heat from adipocytes.

Objectives: The authors recorded temperature profiles during a single cryolipolysis treatment/recovery cycle (with and without massage) and report on the clinical safety and efficacy of this procedure.

Methods: In the pilot study group (PSG), the abdomens of 6 patients were treated with cryolipolysis and subdermal temperatures were recorded.
