The condition itself - PAH - is quite rare in general. I don't think the new applicators have changed the statistical likelihood of getting PAH.
The company reports a much reduced incidence of PAH (paroxysmal adipose hypertrophy) using the new applicators though in my practice I have only seen 1 case of PAH in 5 years.
I have not seen any PAH with CoolSculpting using the new applicators. To be fair though, I also did not see any with the old applicators, although I know some physicians did.

Although you can go right back to your normal routine after CoolSculpting®, including tanning, this is not going to speed up your results in any way and can damage your skin. Because of the adverse health effects of tanning beds, you really should avoid them. However, tanning itself won’t af...
From a strict anatomical standpoint, it is probably fine to undergo Coolsculpting of the submental fat excess since it is distinct from the thyroid region. Of course, this assumes you have healed appropriately from the thyroid surgery. Consult a Coolsculpting specialist for specific advice.
Thank you for your question. The best way to maximize the benefits of CoolSculpting is to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen. There is evidence that any of the other methods you have mentions would help remove any extra fat. Please talk to your treating physician before taking any...
