Estimating the term…
A composition or cryoprotectant for use with a system for improved cooling of subcutaneous lipid-rich tissue of a subject having skin is provided. The cryoprotectant is a non-freezing liquid, gel, or paste for allowing pre-cooling of a treatment device below about 0° C. while preventing the formation of ice thereon. The cryoprotectant may also prevent freezing of the treatment device to the skin and protect tissue of a subject from freezing damage due to, e.g., ice formation. The cryoprotectant can also include an authentication or anti-counterfeiting agent to authenticate an origin of the cryoprotectant, a lubricating agent to increase lubriciousness of the cryoprotectant, and a thixotropic or pseudoplastic agent in an amount effective substantially to render the gel dimensionally stable unless agitated.
A composition for use with a system for cooling subcutaneous lipid-rich tissue of a subject having skin, the composition comprising:
A non-freezing cryoprotectant gel for use with a system for cooling subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a mammal, wherein the gel comprises at least two of the following additives:
A cryoprotectant for use with a system for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a mammal to protect biological tissues of the mammal from freezing damage during treatment, the cryoprotectant comprising:
