A cooling device for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a subject having skin, comprising:
- a support having a first portion and a second portion;
- a first cooling element having a first heat exchanging surface, and the first cooling element being located at the first portion of the support;
- and
- a second cooling element having a second heat exchanging surface, and the second cooling element being located at the second portion of the support, wherein at least one of the first and second cooling elements is movable along the support, and wherein at least one of the first and second cooling elements is configured to rotate for adjusting an angle between the first and second heat exchanging surfaces, wherein at least one of the first and second heat exchanging surface has a convex surface for reducing the distance between the heat exchanging surfaces for concentrating the cooling effects.
