Raynauds Disease and CoolSculpting

Thank you for your question. There are not many contraindications for having CoolSculpting performed BUT Raynauds Disease is one of them. I would not recommend getting this treatment if you have Raynauds. Best Wishes! see video

Raynauds and Coolsculpting

There is a relative contraindication of treating a patient with a history of Raynauds and Coolsculpting.
