Extracted procedure-related data included number of total sessions and cycles, number of sessions and cycles per body area, and treatment-related adverse events.

The mean [standard deviation] age at first treatment was 45.0 [12.8] years (range, 15-83 years). The mean number of cycles per patient was 5.6 [6.5] (range, 1-177), with a median of 4 cycles per patient. The mean number of sessions per patient was 1.9 [1.7] (range, 1-38), with a median of 1 session per patient. The most commonly treated area was the lower abdomen (n = 1761, 4734 cycles), and the most frequently treated body area combination was the upper\/mid + lower abdomen (n = 937, 5140 cycles). Dual submental treatment was more common than single applicator therapy. Eighty-seven patients exhibited 180 adverse events (2.05% of cycles), including 3 body areas (n = 2) with paradoxical adipose hyperplasia.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This retrospective chart review of cryolipolysis treatment, among the largest to date, demonstrates its overall safety and broad use across numerous body areas.
