I had the CoolSculpting done 2 and a 1/2 months ago one cycle. I was supposed to go for my second and I did not want to return because I got hives afterwards all over my body but it started in the area treated. After the procedure I called my doctor and they said it takes a day or two for the treatment to go in through out the body. And that it could possibly cause an allergic reaction. , Is it safe to go back and get laser hair removal?

Answer: Do not get your second Coolsculpting treatment yet Please do not get another Coolsculpting treatment until you have been properly evaluated by an allergist/immunologist. You may have a condition called cold urticaria. This is in essence an "allergy to cold". This is the one contraindication to Coolsculpting. Although most people have mild symptoms, there is a possibility of having an anaphylactic reaction with your next treatment. You should be evaluated to make sure you do not have this condition. Even if they determine you are negative, I would hesitate to treat you again with Coolsculpting. There are other options like Sculpsure which uses laser heat to do the same thing. You can also have liposuction without a problem since cold urticaria is very specific to cold.

Answer: Getting hives isn't a typical side effect of CoolSculpting® Although it's not usual for someone to get hives after a CoolSculpting® treatment, it shouldn't have any bearing on your ability to get laser hair removal. Just be sure you let your laser technician know the situation before your scheduled appointment in case there's any advice they need to give you ahead of time. Best of luck to you!
