Is 70 too old to have either CoolSculpting or laser liposuction done?

Regardless of age, our office policy for all clients is safety first. All laser liposuction clients are screened with a set of pre-op labs and an EKG to make sure they are healthy before the laser liposuction procedure. If they have preexisting conditions, their specialist may need to give pre-op clearance as well. We have many clients who have had safe and effective results that are over 80 years old. The ability to exercise post-op to heal well and maintain the results is also important.

In your case, the skin’s elasticity is more important than your age. Even so, your doctor will most likely take into consideration your overall health condition and look at your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and a few others. CoolSculpting is a good option if you don’t want to undergo general anesthesia but LaserLipo might give you better results since it can also improve skin laxity.

Thank you for your question! Your age is not an issue as long as you are in good health for a non-invasive procedure like fat freezing or laser lipo.
