Fat Freezing Can Mean Big Revenue

Cryolipo­lysis, or fat freezing (brand name CoolScul­pting), is a method of noninvasive fat reduction in which cold temperature is used to break down fat cells. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, fat cells, in particular, are more susceptible to the effects of cold than other types of cells, which allows the fat cells to be destroyed while the skin and other structures are spared of injury.
Patients typically see a fat reduction of about 20% and no downtime is required, making fat freezing an ideal choice for patients seeking noninvasive fat reduction treatments. While patients may see their waistbands shrink in size, offering cryolipolysis can mean just the opposite for a practice’s bottom line.“If you don’t get good results, you’ll get a bad reputation and the treatment will get a bad reputation.” — Stanley Kovak, M.D.
