How old do you have to be to have coolsculpting?

During the
preliminary studies of CoolSculpting, no one under the age of 18
years was enrolled. It is a very safe procedure and can potentially
be used in patients under 18 years, if their body has ceased growing.
For girls, that tends to be about 15 or 16, for boys about 16 to 17.
However, in your late teens and early 20’s, the body tends to
change a bit. Girls tend to get the “freshman 15” extra pounds
in college, while boys may see weight gain as they tend to
participate in fewer team sports after high school. If you are
experiencing lots of weight fluctuations, I think it’s best to wait
until your weight is fairly stable for a year or two, no matter what
your age. You don’t have to be at your skinniest weight to have
CoolSculpting, but it should not be seen as a weight loss procedure.
It is to get rid of fatty bulges that are not too big, but are out of
proportion with the rest of the body. If you are in your teens, but
have a genetic bulge that is truly out of proportion, CoolSculpting
may be of benefit to you.
CoolSculpting
works by lowering the temperature of fat to the point of freezing so
that the cells will begin to destruct. The surrounding and tissues
and skin are not affected at all. If you are under the age of 18
years, you would need parental permission to have CoolSculpting or
any other dermatologic procedure. Please find a board-certified
dermatologist to be evaluated for CoolSculpting.

Thanks for your question. There is no age limit with coolsculpting. If you are under 18 years of age, you will need parental consent. Regards, 

There is no firm age limit for coolsculpting. However, a patient must be a candidate and be able to provide informed consent. If you are under 18, you would need to have parental consent to have the procedure.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body shaping expert to see if you're a candidate. Best, Dr. Emer
