The majority of people who are overweight, but otherwise in good, stable health, are not on
blood thinners and don’t have negative physiologic reactions to cold temperatures are potential
candidates for CoolSculpting as long as there is sufficient soft fat just below the skin
(“subcutaneous” fat).
If you are overweight, have tight skin and cant “pinch an inch” of subcutaneous fat, then you are
probably not a candidate for CoolSculpting.
I hope that information helps in your quest for health, wellness and a trimmer you!

Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions over months and occasional stubble is not unusual, but constant stubble is not typical. There are a lot of variables to successful laser hair removal. In order to reduce the variables and to help ensure the most effective, predictable and safest results (with any laser), seek out a facility that has on-site, experienced and expert physician supervision (preferably a skin expert such as an aesthetic dermatologist), skilled staff and updated, state of the art equipment. I hope that information helps in your quest for health, well and smooth skin!

Sorry to hear you are having discomfort! It is impossible to have a better understanding of why you might experience that without a proper medical evaluation, either from the provider who removed the lesion, or for sure, from a Board Certified Dermatologist - your foremost skin expert. All the best to your skin health and wellness!

What a great question! The best answer would be from your personal Dermatologist who knows your skin health and medical history in the light of the complex interplay of lasers and the pharmacology of minocycline. Try again and reach out to your Dermatologist. All the best to your skin health and wellness!

First, congratulations on your weight loss. What an amazing accomplishment and display of hard work and dedication! Good candidates for the CoolSculpting® procedure are generally within 30 lbs. of their ideal weight, but still have unwanted fat in targeted areas. Based only on the information you have provided here, you would appear to be a candidate. Without knowing your medical history, I cannot guarantee that you will be approved for the treatment, as there are other factors that go into the process of clearing a patient. I recommend you visit a Certified CoolSculpting® Provider for a full assessment. Best of luck to you on your journey!
