Please remember that CoolSculpting's cryolipolysis technology is meant to contour the body and is not a weight-loss or cholesterol-lowering method. Neither has it been shown to raise cholesterol. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting.
This was taken straight from the CoolSculpting website:A multi-site study examined the effect of Cryolipolysis® on serum lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.) and liver function test results and showed:No damage to overlying skin or surrounding structures confirmed by clinical observation.No meaningful changes in mean values were observed for any blood lipid level or liver test at any point over the 12-week follow-up period.
Several have been done proving that Coolsculpting does not raise or lower blood lipid levels. This includes cholesterol and triglycerides.
The safety of CoolSculpting was shown by Zeltiq during its applcation for clearance of their device. No elevation of circulating fats as the fat cells are killed and then gradually metabolized over a couple of months.
Clinical studies have shown that cryolipolysis (coolsculpting) does not cause changes in blood lipid levels (cholesterol.)This question was a common concern when CoolSculpting was first seeking fda clearance. One prominent coolsculpting study, “Cryolipolysis for Fat Reduction and Body Contouring: Safety and Efficacy of Current Treatment Paradigms,” commented on this:“With the removal of the adipocytes internally, there has been concern that cryolipolysis may cause rising blood lipid levels and elevations in liver enzymes that may put the patient at additional risk, particularly for cardiovascular parameters. However, multiple studies have demonstrated that cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase, total bilirubin, albumin, and glucose remained within normal limits during and after cryolipolysis.”And, as I am sure you are aware, any person who suffers from high cholesterol is advised to seek treatment from a medical professional.
