CoolSculpting a day after covid vaccine?

Question

I am taking the covid vaccine J&J tomorrow and have a coolsculpting appointment on Saturday. Is this safe or should I wait longer before my coolsculpting treatment? I heard coolsculpting works through the lymphatic system. Am I going to be negatively affected if I have just received the vaccine?

In my opinion, it would be fine to have a CoolSculpting treatment a day after having received a covid vaccine.  The CoolSculpting should not affect the effectiveness of the vaccine and vice versa.

Hi, thanks for your question. This should be fine. As long as you're feeling well following the vaccine and you're not experiencing any symptoms or adverse reactions. This is more a factor in terms of just feeling well during your CoolSculpting treatment. There are typically no contraindications when it comes to CoolSculpting and vaccines. If you're concerned don't hesitate to speak to your CoolSculpting provider or doctor.

Wow! What a great question. There are so many things that we do not know about Covid 19, the disease(s) it causes, and the various vaccines. The truth is there have been no studies to examine Coolsculpting following administration of the vaccine. While I presume it to be safe, it may be reasonable to wait until completely vaccinated before pursuing Coolsculpting or other cosmetic procedures.

CoolSculpting and the Vaccine have nothing to do with each other and will not affect one another. If you feel uncomfortable you can always reschedule, but you will be fine keeping your appointment.

You will be fine. As your fat cells die they are cleared by your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system doesn’t have anything to do with tour body’s response to the vaccine.
