I am scheduled for a Coolsculpting procedure to remove my not very prominent saddlebags tomorrow night, but I have started to get cold feet because I am not convinced that the treatment will not injure the nerves found in the surrounding area. Many thanks beforehand for your answers!!

Answer: CoolSculpting Only Affects Fat, Not Skin or Nerves Zeltiq's CoolSculpting cryolipolysis technique is designed to lower the temperature sufficiently to destroy fat cells, but not enough to affect tissues, nerves or skin. Sometimes the nerves get stretched when the original applicator sucks skin and fat into the handle. However, this is not a permanent condition. The main side effects reported by patients over the years include swelling, soreness and bruising. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to find out if CoolSculpting is right for you.

Answer: CoolSculpting Effect on Nerves Thank you for your question. There are several side effects associated with CoolSculpting these are swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, and numbness. However, these side effects are temporary. Sometimes the nerves can be temporary stretched out due to the pressure of the applicator and this causes short term nerve pain. However, they are not damaged by this process. Most of these side effects decrease within a couple of weeks. Best of Luck!
