Apoptosis of adipose tissue through cold- Cryoadipolysis/Lipocryolysis- is an aesthetic procedure that reduces subcutaneous fatty tissue. Different studies have proven that this procedure is safe and efficient; however, the use of physical-biological models to describe the cooling dynamics is becoming increasingly necessary to gain a better technological control, because it allows to optimize the temperature and time of exposure of the tissue and provides a better coverage, all of which, in turn, make the use of equipment in Aesthetics more reliable: this is the purpose of this paper. This study validates the use of models containing known substances (water and olive oil), cooled with Cooltech® hand-held devices under standard cryoadipolysis conditions
