I have a rare autoimmune disease classified as a type of vasculitis? Would there be any differing risk factors with Coolsculpt because of this?
Answer: Autoimmunity and Coolsculpting I think this depends on each patient. I would not recommend in someone who is having active disease. For example, someone who has Crohn's disease with ongoing bowel symptoms of pain, bleeding, etc., I would not recommend until the symptoms have stabilized. I would recommend that you do a full evaluation with comprehenisive history, examination, and possibly appropriate blood tests to assess the risks and benefits.

Answer: Can you have CoolSculpting with an Autoimmune Vasculitis? Hi,This is a great question since it is not common. It depends on the underlying cause of the vasculitis. If the autoimmune vascuitis is related to Hepatitis C, then you should not get CoolSculpting. Raynaud's and cold cryoglobulins are autoimmune diseases and cannot have CoolSculpting. If in doubt, give the information to your rheumatologist for their advice before proceeding. Warmly,Dr. Liu
