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.

Thank you for your question. Zeltiq performed years of clinical trials and obtained FDA clearance for this machine.

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.
