Coolsculpting and Raynaud's
There are very few sitatuions in which Coolsclupting should not be performed for reasons of medical safety but Raynaud's disease is one. I would not treat a patient with Coolsculpting if they have a history of cold intolerance or Raynaud's.

Indications for Coolsculpting and Zeltiq
There is a difference between Raynaud's phenomenon and the disease. Depending on the severity of your problem, this may be a contraindication. The disease itself can be quite serious, where as the phenomenon is generally not.
The best candidate is a healthy individual who is 5-30 pound over the ideal body weight who takes care of thei general health and eats right.
