I’ve tried to Coolsculpt my upper arms but keep getting thermal events. After several tries, I was able to complete a full Coolsculpting cycle on my right arm. I’ve unsuccessfully tried about 10 times (over multiple visits) to Coolsculpt my left arm but have gotten a thermal event each time. Now my right arm has noticeably less fat than my left arm. Coolsculpting says this is very rare. Has anyone had experience with this,how I can get through a full cycle on my left arm without another thermal event?

Answer: Coolsculpting & Thermal Events--Shaping the arms with VASER, ThermiRF This isn't typical and may be due to applicator placement. I recommend following up with your practitioners. For best results with areas like the arms, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned and symmetrical result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Thermal Event on One Arm Only I tend to wonder if the positioning of the applicator is appropriate. We have done many arms and have never had this happen. I had to say however, we have also never tried 10 times on a client either. Have they used the cool advantage petite? Are you waiting at least 24 hours between tries? Thermal events are errors that assure your safety. Make sure you're going to an excellent center. A good provider would have already talked to their Rep (PDM) from Allergan to trouble shoot. Best of Luck.
