on the news tonight. Freeze your fat cells

"Coolsculpt was named because it's a technology that freezes fat cells," explained Dr. Banis, "Crystallizes the fat and induces what we call early apoptosis, that's a medical term for cell death."The device works like a vacuum, and suctions up the fat and cools it.

Patients leave with pink skin that feels quite cold, but over a period of time, up to three months, the fat cells die and release their lipids. That's when patients see a reduction in the bulge.

And it's a permanent loss of the fat cell. "Can you get fat again, Yes." said Dr. Banis, "But your contour would always be altered in a positive way."
