CoolSculpting and pregnant. Will it affect my baby?

Question

I just found out i am 2 months pregnant and had cool sculpting on lower abdomen. Will it affect my baby.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There haven't been any studies on Coolsculpting and pregnancy, but it is unlikely this treatment will have a negative impact on your pregnancy. I recommend following up with your OB/GYN about your concerns. Best, Dr. Emer

In my opinion, having a CoolSculpting treatment on the lower abdomen while being two months pregnant, should not affect your baby.  CoolSculpting only affects the fat just below the skin and would not affect your uterus.  It is generally not recommended to have any unnecessary medical treatments or medications while pregnant, just to be on the safe side.

May Gilbert, MBChB · Answer

CoolSculpting treats the fat layers under the skin so this should have no impact on your pregancy. Having said that CoolSculpting is not permitted for pregnant women. There has been no harm done so you should feel less concerned. All the best with your pregnancy, this is an exciting time !

Congratulations on the pregnancy! I do not think you need to worry. The device only freezes the fat that is in the treatment cup and would not get even close to getting to the uterus. Dr. Quenby Erickson

Aurora DeJuliis, MD · Answer

I don't think you have to worry about having had a CoolSculpting treatment not knowing you are pregnant. Coolsculpting uses freezing technology to destroy fat cells and does not emit any laser light. Also the treatment does not reach the uterus but only the superficial fat.
Please enjoy your pregnancy.
