Will a steroid injection affect my CoolSculpting results?

May 12, 2018
Asked By:scanham in England, United Kingdom

I had coolscultping a week ago now and my rheumatologist had to give me a steroid injection today. He gave me a general injection into my buttock to help with the pains all over. He was insistent that I had it but am now worrying that it will affect my results!
