CoolSculpting was released in 2010 and now stands as the only FDA-cleared fat reduction method using cooling technology. Known as Cryolipolysis, the fat freezing technology was developed by two Harvard Scientists. They recognized that fat cells are not susceptible to cold temperatures like the surrounding tissue and skin cells. When exposed to the calibrated cooling of CoolSculpting, fat cells “freeze” or, rather, their cell membrane crystallizes. The crystallization causes the cell membrane to become brittle and rupture. The action triggers cell death, and the body naturally collects the dead cells, disposing of them through the lymphatic system. The discovery of Cryolipolysis led to the invention of cooling technology that safely exposes stubborn bulges to cold temperatures that effectively freezes the subcutaneous fat cells below the skin’s surface without ever harming the overlying skin.
