Abstract
A cryolipolysis device is provided. The cryolipolysis device includes a suction unit including a flange configured to press against a treatment area of a user, and a chamber contiguous with the flange that defines a cavity configured to receive an ice pack. The cryolipolysis device also includes a manual vacuum device configured to produce suction within the chamber of the suction unit to generate a vacuum to maintain the flange against the treatment area of the user.

A method of performing at-home cryolipolysis comprising the steps of:
- providing a cryolipolysis device including:
- a suction unit including:
- a flange configured to press against a treatment area of a user, and
- a chamber contiguous with the flange that defines a cavity configured to receive an ice pack, and
- a manual vacuum device configured to produce suction within the chamber of the suction unit to generate a vacuum to maintain the flange against the treatment area of a user;
- inserting an ice pack into the cavity of the suction unit;
- positioning the suction unit on the treatment area of the user wherein the chamber of the suction unit covers a surface area of the treatment area;
- employing the manual vacuum device, thereby producing suction within the chamber of the suction unit and drawing the surface area of the treatment area covered by the chamber into the cavity, wherein the ice pack contacts the surface area of the treatment area;
- and
- maintaining contact between the ice pack and the surface area of the treatment area for an amount of time suitable to perform cryolipolysis.
