Will a steroid injection affect my CoolSculpting results?

Question

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!

It is not likely that the steroid injection is going to have any significant impact on the results of your Coolsculpting session.

Simon Liubinas, MBBS · Answer

Although there is no way to know for sure, as there is no data on the topic, this steroid injection is unlikely to have an effect on your Coolsculpting results. In any event, you were wise not to compromise your health and your regular medical treatments for Coolsculpting, which, after all, is a cosmetic procedure.
