Zeltiq does not effect cholesterol

There have been several FDA approved studies done on the affects of Zeltiq CoolSculpting on cholesterol. To date, all studies have shown that there is no effect on cholesterol after having Zeltiq.

No Change Of Cholesterol withZeltiq

Over the last 2 to 3 years the FDA has become much tougher in approving new devices. One area of particular concern for approval of the Zeltiq-cool sculpting device was: does it effect cholesterol levels. The FDA said it fortunately has no effect on cholesterol levels. Of coarse, with all new technologies doctors and patients should remain vigilant for any u expected untoward responses.

Cholesterol after Zeltiq

Multiple studies have ascertained that blood lipids and trigleryides are not affected following non surgical fat reduction like Zeltiq and LipoSonix. Todays clinical trials have confirmed that blood cholesterol lipids as well as triglycerides are not affected through any of the FDA approved non-surgical fat reduction procedures.

No elevation of blood cholesterol or triglycerides with CoolSculpting

The safety of CoolSculpting was shown by Zeltiq during its applcation for clearance of their device. No elevation of circulating fats as the fat cells are killed and then gradually metabolized over a couple of months. see video

CoolSculpting and Cholesterol Levels

Thank you for your question. Zeltiq performed years of clinical trials and obtained FDA clearance for this machine. With the gradual removal of the fat cells during an 8 week period (or more), it has not been found that the cholesterol level of patients is increased by having this procedure performed. Best Wishes! see video

CoolSculpting and effect on cholesterol levels...

Great question. This was one of the major factors that the FDA looked at before clearing this device for use. There has been no detectable increase in the level of cholesterol in the bloodstream of patients in the research studies to date.

No change in Cholesterol levels with CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

Because fat cells are destroyed via cold injury, and then removed gradually over a period of eight weeks or more, all blood testing has revealed no rise in the cholesterol levels after the CoolSculpting procedure.

Coolsculpting Does not Affect Cholesterol Levels

Hi, To date, the studies have shown that the slow reduction of fat after Coolsculpting does not raise the cholesterol in your blood or affect your cardiovascular system adversely. The company is very stringent in their clinical studies and safety studies before it obtained FDA approval. Best. Dr. Liu

Does Zeltig Coolsculpting affect cholesterol levels?

No. All studies to date do not show that Coolsculpting increases Cholesteral levels. The FDA has studied extensively before approving this excellent fat bulge reduction procedure.

Coolsculpting results in no change in cholesterol levels

After extensive testing by Zeltiq, there has been no elevation in the levels of cholesterol found in pateints undergoing Coolsculpting. This was a concern which the FDA wanted data and would have prevented approval had this not been true. I assume because the breakdown of the fat cells is slow and gradual, that the levels aren't significantly elevated.
