Thank you for your question. There are two contradictions for Coolsculpting.
These are Cryoglobulinemia, this is where abnormal level of proteins thicken
the blood in cold temperatures and the second condition is paroxysmal cold
hemoglobinuria, this is a blood disorder in which cold temperatures lead to red
blood cell death. If a patient is very hypersensitive to the cold it is advised
not to have Coolsculpting. I recommend discussing your concerns with your
treating physician. Best of Luck!

Hi jhoe198620- There are 2 contraindications for CoolSculpting. The first is Cryoglobulinemia, a condition in which an abnormal level of proteins thickens the blood in cold temperatures and the second is paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, a blood disorder in which cold temperatures lead to red blood cell death.  Since CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling technology to freeze the fat cells, a patient who is severely hypersensitive to cold is advised not to have the treatment. Your primary care physician would let you know if you have either of these two conditions. Besides that, CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and completely non-invasive.
