Assessment of the complications of cryolipolysis for aesthetic purpose - INAHTA Brief

The aim of this work is to appraise the side effects of cryolipolysis, an aesthetic non-invasive fat reduction procedure carried out by a controlled cooling system to reduce localised subcutaneous adipose tissue (in abdomen, tights, flanks , back, upper arms, submental area, chest fat in men).

This assessment is conducted in order to respond to the Health Ministry‘s request about the potential danger of this technique (article L.1151-3 of the Health National Law).
