Cool sculpting-potential long term side effects?

Kimberly4117
My understanding is that Cool sculpting works by destroying fat cells. Are there any potential long-term side effects with these dead fat cell remaining in the body? Besides dead fat, are there any other substances these cells contain? Thank you for your input. The results of this procedure are quite impressive.
