In what I have read about Zerona treatments it says if you have thyroid problems you should not have their treatment because it keeps treatment form working well. Is gthis the same with Zeltiq?

Coolsculpting for people with Hypothyroidism

Greetings~ Coolsculpting works well for patients with distinct, stubborn areas of fat like the tummy, love handles and bra fat, even if you have hypothyroid issues There is no contraindication or reason why Coolsculpting should be less effective in a hypothyroid patient. A face to face consult is always best to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment in the areas you are concerned about. Good luck~ Dr. Grant Stevens.

Hypothyroid and CoolSculpting

Thank you for your question. There is no contraindication for patients with hypothyroid to have the CoolSculpting procedure. CoolSculpting works on isolated areas of diet / exercise resistant adipose tissue so if you are a good candidate in that aspect, you are fine to proceed with treatment. Ideally, you would have your thyroid problems managed properly with your doctor. Best Wishes! see video

Hypothryoidism is not a reason to avoid CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

Hypothryoidism is one of the medical conditions that can cause people to gain weight without eating more. It does this by slowing down the basal metabolic rate.

Coolsculpting and Thyroid

There is no contraindication for Coolsculpting and hypothyroidism. Coolsculpting works excellent for reducing fat as a result of cool temperatures killing fat cells. Unlike Zerona, this is independent of diet and thryoid.

Hypothyroidism is not contraindicated with Coolsculpting

Hypothyroidism is not one of the conditions which would be contraindicated with Coolsculpting. I am unsure as to why Zerona does not produce results in the setting of hypothyroidism, but this modality has multiple conditions that must be met. Coolsculpting is targeting fat cells and causing them to undergo cell death or what the company calls cryolipolysis. Hypothyroidism does not affect this process. I have treated many patients who are hypothyroid or on thyroid medication. more
