Abstract
Introduction: Cryolipolysis produces selective, controlled cooling, and it’s based on the concept that lipid-rich tissue is more susceptible to cold injury, reducing subcutaneous fat.
Objective: To review the literature to assess the effectiveness of cryolipolysis in reducing subcutaneous fat.
Methods: Systematic review with meta-analysis of studies published in the EBSCOhost, LILACS, and PUBMED databases.
Results: Only one study did not present significant reduction in subcutaneous fat compared to the control group.There was a difference among the parameters in the studies.
Conclusion: Cryolipolysis is an effective tool for localized fat reduction.
