Physicians should discuss the possibility of temporary altered sensation with their patients before undergoing cryolipolysis, and reiterate that while this effect may occur, it is transient and will require no treatment.
2015, Mathew Avram, Fat Removal: Invasive and Non-invasive Body Contouring, →ISBN, page 115Although cryolipolysis is a promising new technology, it is important to bear in mind a few potential limitations. In the human clinical studies, results were most visible in patients with discrete, localized fat bulges. Cryolipolysis does not appear to be as effective in obese patients or patients with excess skin laxity.
