New treatment freezes extra fat
A Scientist from Harvard University has developed a new medical treatment that freezes away extra body fat and tightens the skin. The one-hour treatment called Zeltiq is the brainchild of Rox Anderson and was approved recently by the FDA.
A vacuum like device pulls in those annoying bits around the middle and literally freezes them. The fat cells die a slow death over 6 to 8 weeks and the results are dramatic.
Zeltiq is similar to liposuction in its ability to target a specific area. But it is not surgery, and the lack of pain and recovery time has made this one of the beneficial treatments.
