This is, Housecall for Health.

Remember that myth you heard about as a kid? If you felt your stomach after running around and it was cold, that meant you were burning calories? Welp, a new health trend is a little bit like that, plastic surgeons and dermatologists are turning to fat freezing to eliminate about 20?percent of the fat cells on a particular area of the body in just an hour’s time.

The professionals say it’s a quick and harmless way to drop extra pounds. You could even get it done while watching a movie or catching up on your emails.

All that’s required of the patient is an hour of their time, and then a machine inserts specific body parts, like love handles and chubby backs, into a cooling chamber. The cells are cooled down to below body temperature, which causes them to get metabolized and then excrete.

More than 425,000?nonsurgical fat reduction procedures were conducted in 2015.
