Generally speaking coolsculpting was studied on healthy well patients with no recent medical issues. With that being said your cardiologist would have to clear you prior to any treatment. Secondly, in rare cases people sometimes get light headed during treatment or faint and although not common at all this may not be a good situation to be in with your heart history. I would personally have you wait at least a year or longer. Of course being on coumadin as well could give you bruising or risks that otherwise are not present when not on that medication.

We have been doing CoolSculpting over 6 years and we have not had this issue nor do I think it will happen again. However you can always do a round of antivirals beforehand just to be sure. It is not a contraindication for treatment although if you're in a current outbreak I would wait until it's calmed down and resolved.

CoolSculpting does not tighten skin as it only works on the fat cells. With that being said if your skin integrity is good you shouldn't be worried. I would advise an in person consultation with a trusted practice. If there is an issue upon assessment a good provider will advise you against coolsculpting if the skin would leave you unhappy.

This rare side effect from coolsculpting can occur on any part of the body. I have not personally seen it occur on the arms but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We have seen it on the abdomen, bra line, love handles.

ANSWER
CoolSculpting can not be done on your clavicle. Perhaps a photo would be helpful to see what area you are actually talking about. It can do the bra puff (area on the side of a tank top) and can do the back of arms. There are approved areas a certified provider can explain in an in person consultation which is always best.

ANSWER
I would not move forward with a third miradry and expect the outcomes to be any different. With that being said it all depends on the template size and the energy used but assuming you had a certified provider all those variables should have been fine. But no, I would not recommend another miradry treatment.

ULtherapy is approved for treatment on the face, neck and chest. An experienced provider will advise you on the areas they can not treat (around some nerve areas and over the trachea) but rest assured the neck is an area of ultherapy we treat all the time. Best of luck.

ANSWER
Miradry can treat only the underarm area and states that it's 80-85% effective. Some clients need an additional treatment several months later. It is not approved for use in any other areas of the body at this time.

We don't actually advise patients that they have to wear one after treatment but if it feels good it can not hurt to do so!

ANSWER
Cool Tone sits on the glute area and may help to lift, strengthen and firm the glute. Cool Sculpting can treat the banana roll area but you actually don't appear to have enough tissue to treat that area honestly. An in person consultation with a trusted provided can best advise! Best of Luck.
