I have HS skin disorder. Can people with HS be treated on inner thighs by cool sculpting. (photo)

Question

I have HS a skin disorder. I had lost 30lbs but current bumps from friction during hiking invaded my upper thighs and have made walking almost impossible and I'm gaining weight fast from inactivity. I'm desperate can people with HS use cool sculpting or is there a better recommendation.

Monica Boen, MD · Answer

Hidradenitis suppurativa is not a contraindication for CoolSculpting treatments. However, it is best to avoid areas of skin that are in an active flare-up. I encourage you to find a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist who is knowledgeable about your skin condition to perform your CoolSculpting treatment. In addition, I would work with both your doctors concurrently to ensure your treatment program is both safe and effective for you. Good luck!

Hidradenitis  suppurativa is not a contraindication to performing CoolSculpting. Concomitant treatment of the hidradenitis is suggested. Find a cosmetic dermatologist who can assist you with your treatment.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself All-star

Coolsculpting is not contraindicated for people with Hydradenitis but we don't treat in areas when there is an active process happening (like an HS eruption, skin infection, etc).  It would be best to work with your physician that is managing your HS to get it knocked down and then consider treatment if your physician thinks it's advisable.  I know this is a tough thing to deal with.  Best of luck and speedy healing.
