Are Coolsculpting results TRULY permanent? Also, are repeated treatments safe?

kk94309
I've heard that the results from Coolsculpting only last 10 to 15 years. Extreme weight gain aside, are the results from Coolsculpting truly permanent (at least in terms of fat cell number)? What about if you get pregnant--do fat cells regrow/multiply in that area, negating your results? Also, are repeated treatments to the same area safe? Any long term health effects such as increased cancer risk or long term fat tissue damage? Thank you very much for your help!
