1. A cooling system for extracting heat away from a targeted area of the body, the cooling system comprising:
a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) having a hot side and a cold side; and
an applicator having the TEC adapted to thermally engage with a predetermined amount of coolant such that when the TEC is powered, the predetermined amount of coolant applied to the TEC extracts heat away from the hot side of the TEC without re-cooling the predetermined amount of coolant applied to the TEC so that the cold side of the TEC can maintain temperature below 0° C. for at least 30 minutes to extract heat away from the targeted area of the body;
wherein the cooling system does not include a pump that circulates coolant to and from the TEC.
