Unfortunately there is no safety information from Coolsculpting in regards to treating patients with connective tissue disorders. With Ehlers Danlos, most patient have translucent skin, skin hyperelasticity and can bruise easy. This may cause issues with the suctioning portion of the treatment, which may not allow for the treatment to be completed. As always, a consult with an experienced clinician is warranted, to see if other options are available to achieve your desired outcome.
I suggest seeing an expert. Coolsculpting has no risk for patients with connective tissue diseases like ehlers danlos. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

As is true with many cosmetic treatments, not everyone has the same exact experience. The cooling process will affect different people in different ways, so while some feel a cooling sensation, others describe it as burning or tingly. Others, like yourself, describe feeling nothing at all...
CoolSculpting can take anywhere from 8 - 12 weeks to see the results. Sometimes, these results are more gradual, thus, you may notice not them as they are occurring. We have patients return 8 weeks after their last treatment and use a 3D camera to show results because we can see the...
