Are there any longer-term studies of the effectiveness of this treatment? There should be something now that it's been used for more than a year.

A Portmanteau of "Cryogenic" & "Lipolysis"?
I have added a citation needed tag to the claim that "Cryolipolysis" is a portmanteau of "Cryogenic" & "Lipolysis"more info-www.advancehealthcare.in
I suspect that the term is not a portmanteau of these words, and instead assume it's more likely that the term has been formed from adding the prefix "
cryo-" to "
lipolysis".
Furthermore I feel that an English speaking medical professional is likely to be familiar with the prefix "cryo-" and it's meaning, would reasonably assume "cryolipolysis" as being formed "cryo-" and "lipolysis" and from only the term itself correctly deduce that it pertains to the freezing or near freezing temperatures and the breakdown of lipids. — Preceding

When this article was first created in 2009, Cryolipolysis was just going through human trials and it did not exist in any significant way as a business (Zeltiq) or as a consumer product (Coolsculpting). I'd like to improve the article following COI best practices (I have a COI) and was interested in any feedback on the best way to name and structure Wikipedia's content about the medical term (Cryolipolysis), the consumer term (CoolSculpting) and the business (Zeltiq).
For example, should we
Create a Coolsculpting article with a Zeltiq sub-section and a Summary Style for the Cryolipolysis page or
Rename this article to the term understood by the public, CoolSculpting, and include content about all three subjects
Zeltiq (who have their own page btw) maintain that CoolSculpting and Cryolipolysis are not two terms for the same thing, as you seemed to have implied with "the medical term (Cryolipolysis), the consumer term (CoolSculpting)...".
The first matter to clear up before considering renaming and restructuring this article to be about "CoolSculpting", or the creation of a new CoolSculpting article, is whether CoolSculpting as a product even meets notability requirements. — Preceding

Thanks for commenting.
Zeltiq looks to be a redirect? If I'm missing something and it does have a page, in my opinion it should be merged per
WP:ORGVANITY, even if it does scrape by on notability grounds. Here are some links RE Coolsculpting and verifying notability:
CBS News,
ABC News,
The Daily Mail,
USA Today,
LA Times,
The Wall Street Journal, etc. I used the language "medical term" versus "consumer term", because most mainstream press discuss "coolsculpting" while medical journals discuss "Cryolipolysis"

Oh, I was missing something! It looks like a lot of the information on that page is incorrect, unsourced or not supported by the source and the sources used don't change my perspective. What do you think about me starting a merge discussion on that page and a rename discussion on this page, such that the outcome (if supported by consensus) would be a single "CoolSculpting" article with a lot of content about the Cryolipolysis method it uses and a sub-section for the corporate history related to it.

Requested move 11 January 2015
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Not moved.Cryolipolysis can continue to exist under that name. If there are any concerns whether
Zeltiq Aesthetics is notable enough for a separate article, they can be addressed via AfD or by talk page discussion. My personal opinion is there is nothing wrong with the
Zeltiq Aesthetics article. If
CoolSculpting is merely Zeltiq's trade name for cryolipolysis it's not evident how a mere name could have independent notability. In that case keeping it as a redirect to
Cryolipolysis seems fine.

Cryolipolysis → ? – According to
The Daily Mail,
Cryolipolysis is a trademark of
Zeltiq Aesthetics, who use it in the
CoolSculpting device. The technique was developed at the Massachusetts General Hospital and licensed to Zeltiq in exchange for royalties.[1] If Zeltiq does in fact own the trademark, that would seem to make it technically impossible for there to be other "Cryolipolysis" devices, besides counterfeits[2] and DIY
[1]. The wording in medical journals did not make it entirely clear to me whether Cryolipolysis and CoolSculpting were virtually synonymous or whether Cryolipolysis was a much broader technique used in other applications, as different sources had slightly different wordings.
Should we have:
3 articles on
Zeltiq (company),
CoolSculpting (product) and Cryolipolysis (technique)
2 articles one on the medical technique (Cryolipolysis) and one on the commercial aspects (CoolSculpting with a section on Zeltiq)
1 article on either Cryolipolysis or CoolSculpting, with sections devoted to the company and product and details about

Cryolipolysis appears to be a generic term, as well as the technical term. It is the one used in the medical literature per
[2]. CoolSculpting appears to be a brand name for one use. The main article should be named cryolipolysis and CoolSculpting should be redirected there.
Doing a search at the reliable sources noticeboard seems to verify your concerns about the Daily Mail. It does look like they have it registered with the United States Patent & Trademark Office
[3]. When I click around at the list of studies linked to by Doc James, many of them are using CoolSculpting devices or talk about Cryolipolysis, but cite studies about CoolSculpting. Sources about CoolSculpting often spend a lot of article space on Cryolipolysis and vica versa, but then sometimes not at all too. My best guess on the situation is that Cryolipolysis is a generalized term and Zeltiq is merely the most significant device provider, hence why some sources will use them interchangeably like "Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting)".
When it comes to pharmaceuticals we typically redirect the brand names to the generic terms and do not have articles on each brand name. The same applies to devices.

I'm at a loss as to why we would not cover products and businesses that are notable, merely because they sell a medical product. I've certainly written articles about specific brands/companies in the past, such as
Proactiv (GA) and
Invisalign (GA nominating soon). You're welcome to send those to AfD, but it would seem rather silly.

Yes those articles have some issues.
Proactiv was making medical claims based on primary sources.
If the term is being used as a
generic trademark (think
xerox,
kleenex, and
kotex), and there is no widely agreed-upon alternative term (unlike the three examples I mentioned) this article should reflect those sources. Yeah, the company's going to hate it... but it happens. —

Ok, so should there be a Zeltiq page or just the one on Cryolipolysis? Zeltiq's IPO was covered in
Bloomberg and the
San Jose Mercury News, but they are not nearly as notable as CoolSculpting. If we shouldn't cover it all, I can keep working on my draft with the aim of just a Cryolipolysis article.

Probably the question is just over whether there should be a three paragraph stub, like the one in place currently, but using press reports, rather than primary sources. My own advice at
WP:ORGVANITY says we usually create an article on the product if it is more notable than the company, as is the case here. However if convention is to not to do that in this case, there are some bits of source material about IPO, business growth, a management "shakeup", etc. that has no place on a Cryolipolysis page.

We do add information about the companies that manufacture devices to the articles on devices occasionally. This does not require the article to use the brand name of the device.

Cryolipolysis - 2 questions
Hello, here are my two humble, technical questions about that I have about Cryolipolysis, and would very much to see answers in the article:
What is the maximal temperature that Cryolipolysis instruments inflict on the skin?...
Does some areas require higher or lower temperatures? or the treatments' temperatures are always homogenous?
It is worth mentionning that Coolsculping is not a generic word, but indeed a registred trade mark. I am questionning if naming a commercial company in the lead is in line with
WP:COVERT. May I propose to rephrase the sentence:
" Specific treatments are using medical devices called CoolSculpting made by Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc."
into:
" 'Coolsculpting' is a registred trade mark, not to be confused with the generic wording 'cryolypolisis' "
Alexbrn did
revert my contribution about severe side effects. There are three parts to be discussed:
description of severe side effects, with pictures, sourced from SFK Info, the official publication of Swiss association of aestheticians
mention of severe side effects, sourced from one of the players of the market
request for sources for an undocumented statement.
Please comment on the "poorly" sourced and the "non-sourced", one by one. I am proposing to at least request sources for the existing statement (item 3 above). I don't understand why it has been reverted.

Alexbrn, except that in Switzerland it is not a "medical" treatment, eventhough some MD's are practicing it too. It is simply an "aesthetic" procedure that can be practiced by anybody, including by simple aetheticians (see my "poor" source). Once again
WP:WORLD, what is valid in the US shall not be valid across the entire world. For me,
WP:MEDRS does not apply here.
The section and sources below overinterpret what is being "approved" for this device. The FDA did not approve the safety and efficacy of Zeltiq - that is not the process of FDA review for devices. The approval was for "interstate commerce" only, and the manufacturer must comply with several regulations concerning labeling and manufacturing quality. Further points: 1) the Medscape source is not a direct source; 2) the 510K is written by the applicant - Zeltiq - not by the FDA, so the assertions about efficacy at different body parts are only the opinion of the applicant; 3) it is promotional,
WP:PROMO, to recite the 510k as a source for efficacy at different body locations. --
