Cryolipolysis - fat freezing?

I just heard of this today, fat freezing. Anyone ever try it?
Apparently it's the non surgical way to deal with stubborn patches of fat after weight loss.
What do you think of it? Quackery or cutting edge?

Crylipolysis for fat removal has been supported by numerous clinical trials, it was developed by Harvard scientists. Cryo Lipo or Cryo Therapy gets some great results- considering its a non-invasive procedure.
I was so amazed at the results I have seen, I now specialize in this technique as an Aesthetic Therapist in the UK. I trained alongside a surgeon who was adding Cryogenic liposuction to his treatment list as an alternative to traditional liposuction. It is worth noting that it is not a weight loss tool, or a cure for obesity- but for the right candidates (those close to their ideal BMI) it is great for areas of stubborn fat, that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Hi,
I am not even close to my ideal BMI but have this kangaroo pouch just above my pubic area that I really hate. So I went to my doctor that also did IPL on my age spots (living as a Caucasian woman in the Caribbean has left its marks). He said it would take care of about 25% of the fat cells, unlike some doctors claim up to 50 he said this never is the case. 25% is realistic and some of his patients who came back for second treatments confirmed this finding.
So I went along, on the 4th of Januari 2016 I had the treatment and it did not hurt at all, ok when it first sucks in all the fat into the mouthpiece it is not too nice but the pressure is taken off the moment the mouthpiece is full (in my case there is more than enough to enter anyways). So the hour long treatment is comfortable, little sucking redness afterwards but an hour later this was gone as well, no bruising whatsoever.
My doctor told me this would take 8-12 weeks to be fully visible and I should eat wisely and do some exercise (hence I signed up to this website and do some sit ups like 2-3 times a week). I have to say: the first 2 weeks I was so bloated and looked even bigger than before the treatment. The first 3 weeks or so my poo floated which I heard you get when Low Carbing which I am not doing. But then I reasoned this must be the fat cells going out.
Now, after the third week I have to say I start seeing it. I feel it is going down and today I wear a cocoon dress that before I would not wear without correcting underwear underneath. I am really anxious to go back early april for my muffin top, since he will then measure the fat cm again (fatometer, this is sooo embarrassing).
I will let you know the results but I think the 25% is very reasonable. Looks great and my doctor only charges 50 pounds per area (muffin top would be 1 area but my kangaroo pouch was 4 areas hip to hip)0
