Raynaud's is no longer a contraindication for the CoolSculpting procedure. Individuals with this condition constrict their blood vessels when exposed to cold. This might make the procedure more painful in a patient with a history of severe Raynaud's, but we have treated many patients with Raynaud's without any significant side effects.
Coolsculpting is a fabulous procedure for reducing the bulge non-surgically in the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. However, if you have a history of Raynaud's I would consult your internist if your underlying condition would preclude you from this procedure. For the best results please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with Coolsculpting.
CoolSculpting is a great treatment for most anyone with the adage: if you can grab it, we can treat it. However, there are some conditions that one might have that preclude its use — and one of them is Raynaud's Phenomenon or Disease. You already have a vascular compromise in your vessels and this procedure does similar things so we don't want to mix and match. A board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon will be able to come up with an alternative treatment plan, perhaps one of the skin-tightening RF devices or UltraShape, which in this case is best to consider.
Dear spearman:Raynaud's syndrome is typically described when the finger tips become blanched due to cold or stress exposure. This is due to an over active spasm of the blood vessels causing vaso-constriction and when mixed with prolonged cold may lead to ulceration and gangrene. The CoolSculpting applicator is created to vacuum a bulge of skin to concentrate the cooling effects on the fat. If the skin were to unnaturally vaso-constrict, it will lose the protective advantage that it has over fat and freeze. Frozen skin is called frostbite.Raynaud's syndrome and other vaso-constrictive auto-immune or collagen vascular diseases such as lupus are contra-indications to the use of this cooling device. You may consider:lifestyle changes including diet and exercise, and surgical liposuction. Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate your desires and review your options. All the best!
Raynaud's is a contraindication to Coolsculpting but there are other options (surgical and non-surgical) that may be appropriate. Consult in person for the best advice.
As it stands now, Raynauds is a contraindication for having a Zeltiq CoolSculpting treatment. Therefore, if you have Raynauds, I would advise against having this procedure done at this time. It is unlikely that you would tolerate the treatment.
CoolSculpting doesn't need to be performed by a physician, but it is performed under their supervision. It's important to make sure that the specialist who does perform the treatment is adequately trained and qualified. Be sure to discuss this prior to your session and make sure you choose a...
Coolsculpting leads to amazing results. Beware of groupons and less than favorable outcomes. I much prefer coolsculpting for lasting results. For the best cosmetic results please consult a dermatologist who is experienced with Coolsculpting.
Coolsculpting is a great procedure but in order for the treatment to be effective it takes an entire hour or two hours depending on the area of the body being treated. There is no way that a 15 minute session would work and I doubt that it is really the cool sculpting machine that they are using.
