The CoolSculpting system is used to remove fat, particularly love handles-deposits, and bulges that are stubborn. However, the risk to a patient of the severe side effect of disfigurement may be higher than previously realized.

Skin freezes at a lower temperature than fat, and the CoolSculpting device works by taking advantage of that.

Unfortunately, there may be problems with CoolSculpting, and a lawsuit by model Linda Evangelista was filed last year to recover damages that may have been caused by the procedure.
