Is it safe to treat only my under arms during early pregnancy?

Hi, it is advised you do not have the Coolsculpt procedure if you're pregnant. There have not been any studies to determine what the negative side effects would be (if any). It is best to hold off until you are not pregnant or breast feeding.

I would not recommend having any elective cosmetic procedures, including CoolSculpting under the arms, while being pregnant.  While having the CoolSculpting procedure under the arms would most likely not impact your unborn child, it is best to not take any chances with a procedure that could be done when you are no longer pregnant.  

It is never recommended to get ANY elective cosmetic procedure during pregnancy.  No studies are done on pregnant women and it is not worth the risk of your baby.  Wait until you have given birth and if you choose to breastfeed, please wait until you are done with that as well.... Hope this helps and congratulations!

There are no good studies looking at the safety of Coolsculpting during pregnancy so it is best to avoid treatment until after delivery.  Another good reason to wait is to allow time for any body changes of pregnancy to take effect so that a treatment can be planned that will maximize the effects that you want.

Dear Houston, TX,
I recommend postponing cosmetic procedures until after pregnancy. Plus, CoolSculpting can help you reduce postpartum fat.
