Can CoolSculpting help kill cancer?

Good Morning, thank you for your concern. CoolSculpting is designed to freeze your fat cells preparing you for Apoptosis. There is no clinical research that has been shown that it can or will kill cancer cells. Best, Anil Shah

Hello Dawnz1960,CoolSculpting freezes fat cells to reduce areas of unwanted fat. It has no role in cancer therapy. If you've been diagnosed with cancer you should see an oncologist for the most appropriate treatment options.Oscar A. Aguirre, MD, FPMRS

CoolSculpting is a procedure designed to reduced isolated areas of unwanted fat.  The treatment will not kill cancer cells or treat cancer.  

Coolsculpting is using cold energy that targets fat cells. This makes Coolsculpting a safe way to reduce fat non-surgically since it doesn't put your organs to any risk. So the answer is that no, there is no scientific data that shows Coolscupting would treat cancer since it only targets your fat cells. 

Hello and thank you for your question. Cool Sculpting freezes fat cells and there is no medical research that suggests it treats cancer in any capacity. Best wishes.Dr. T

I'm not sure about what cancer you are trying to eradicate. While cold therapy might work for some cancers, keep in mind that CS doesn't even kill all the fat cells it treats. I wouldn't like to kill just 25% of the cancer cells. Future modifications of this technology might become promising but as is, don't count on it killing a cancer.

Dear dawnz1960, 
Do not confuse cryotherapy with
CoolSculpting.Cryotherapy for cancerous tumors is a freezing technique to kill malignant and pre-malignant cells; and requires oncologic follow-up.
Cryotherapy for fat cell reduction uses a cooling (not freezing) technique of programmed cell death called apoptosis to "turn-off" fat cell survival. 
Consult with the appropriate Board Certified Specialist for the care you need. All the best!
