Can I get CoolSmooth/coolsculpting done even if I am taking Yaz birth control?

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can do coolsculpting while taking birth control. Please discuss with your doctor before moving forward if you are concerned.Regards,

Yes, you can have Coolsculpting while taking YAZ. Keep in mind, for best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and skin smoothing. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

CoolSculpting treatments will not cause blood clots, so it would be fine to have a CoolSculpting procedure done while taking Yaz birth control.  

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a very safe procedure. However, all treatments have potential side effects, although with Coolsculpting they are very unlikely to occur. Your treating physician should discuss all potential side effects and expectations before your procedure. I hope this helps!

Hi,
There is no risk for developing blood clots after the CoolSculpting procedure.  There is no interaction with birth control.  There is a risk of blood clots from taking birth control, however.  That is something worth considering.  You may want to consider an alternative form of birth control, if the risk of blood clots concerns you greatly.  
Hope this helps,
Dr. Garry K. Kim

Thanks for your question.  There should not be any issue having CoolSculping treatments while taking the birth control pill.  CoolSculpting is completely noninvasive and requires no downtime, therefore you can up and moving the same day as your treatment.  Good luck!

Hi,There is no scientific or documented risk of blood clots with Coolsculpting.  You are fine to get Coolsculpting.  The risk of blood clots with birth control pills should be discussed with your OB since some patients have a higher risk than others and they can provide alternatives based on your specific medical history.Warmly,Dr.Liu

There is no problem taking Yaz or other birth control pills and having Coolsculpting (CoolSmooth) done.  Coolsculpting does not effect your risk of blood clots.  There is a greater risk of clots with oral contraceptives in general but that risk is not effected by having Coolsculpting of any kind.  You should be fine to have treatment- no worries.  

There is no known correlation between Coolsculpting and an increased incidence of blood clots.  You can safely be treated with Coolsculpt.  If you are worried about risk for blood clots I suggest making an appointment with your OB/GYN to discuss alternative birth control methods.
