Aims: Cryolipolysis is a successful non-invasive technique for reducing fat, offering a potential alternative for non-surgical body sculpting. This research conducts a thorough assessment of the existing data, focusing specifically on cryolipolysis-induced pain.
Method and Materials: A thorough search of electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were carried out in this systematic review to find relevant studies published until July 2024. The search strategy used terms linked to cryolipolysis and pain like "pain" and "cryolipolysis". The studies were evaluated for their methodological quality, and the findings were combined to give a summary.
Findings: In this review, 130 articles were obtained in the initial literature search. Following the application of inclusion criteria and the identification of additional articles through a manual review of references, 16 studies were chosen for review. The studies covered a variety of populations and research types like randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, case series, and case reports. The findings of this review indicated that a variety range of pain in the treated area is commonly felt during and after the procedure.
Conclusion: Patients may experience pain and discomfort during and after the cryolipolysis procedure. By following recommended pain management strategies, they can achieve satisfactory results with minimal discomfort.
