What are the long term side effects of CoolSculpting?

One of the terrific things about removing resistant bulges of fat with CoolSculpting is that you get great results without downtime or a recovery period. The only side effects you should expect are some swelling, redness, and (rarely) bruising (I’ve never seen this happen). All of that should resolve within days to weeks. From that point on, all you’re watching for are your great results at the three- to six-month mark. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who’s an expert with CoolSculpting and who follows your treatment with Zimmer Z-Wave radial pulsed therapy.  

Coolsculpting is a non-invasive treatment that permanently destroys stubborn areas of fat. Keep in mind, for best results, a combination approach with other non-invasive treatments is needed and some people need more than one treatment with Coolsculpting. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for a toned result and can be performed at the same time as your breast augmentation, but requires more downtime. See an expert.

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting targets only the fat cells and causes no other damage. The results are very reliable if correctly applied. So far I have not seen any patient having lumps with CoolSculpting. Usually, for the best results 2 sessions are required and recommended. Most patients do see a great outcome. I recommend having a consultation with expert to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. Best of Luck!

The only known side effects (which are short term) are temporary bruising, swelling and numbness at the application site. CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA cleared technology which can nonsurgically reduce unwanted fat. CoolSculpting can reduce as much as 24% of fat cells after just the first treatment. For best results it is important to see a board certified dermatologist with experience in nonsurgical fat reduction. Thank you for your question, best of luck to you!

Coolsculpting is an FDA cleared non-invasive, no down-time procedure where most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
You may experience redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, itching, skin sensitivity, tingling, and numbness in the treatment area a couple weeks after treatment, but as far as long-term side effects, there are none.

CoolSculpting in a non-invasive treatment with no long-term side effects. Any side effects are minimal and usually resolve within a few days and up to three weeks post treatment. These include temporary redness, swelling and minimal discomfort. CoolSculpting is a safe treatment with no long term health risks, as the treated fat cells are expelled by your body naturally. The treated fat cells are gone forever. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is a great alternative to undergoing an invasive procedure, such as liposuction and has no long-term negative side effects. There is no down time, no risk of infection and you can achieve up to a 40% reduction with a retreatment of the same area. You'll need to have a consultation to determine how many treatments is recommended to get your desired results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a Coolsculpting-certified practitioner. All the best, Dr. Dr. Aggarwal

If you are considering a procedure to get rid of fat, CoolSculpting is a great option, because it is non-invasive with little to no down-time. Great results can be achieved for those who want to eliminate fat in these areas. Most patients opt to get re-treatments in the same area for maximum results of up to 40-50% fat cell reduction.  I suggest researching both your surgical and non-surgical options, along with scheduling an in-person consultation with a physician so you can be evaluated and given recommendations.
