I have cold urticaria and am scheduled for coolsculpture to my abdomen and inner thighs. I get hives from being out too long in the cold, especially if I'm doing something that involves moderate physical activity, I suppose it has to do with the cold and increased blood flow. Is this a cause for concern?

Answer: Cold uticaria and Coolsculpting This is one of the reasons that a person should not get Coolsculpting. I would recommend other treatments such as Vanquish or Sculpsure.

Answer: Coolsculpting and cold urticaria Cold urticaria is a condition where your immune system responds in an abnormal way to a cold stimulus. Symptoms are usually mild, and include a skin rash at site of the cold stimulus. Symptoms can worsen depending on how cold the stimulus is and for how long your are exposed to the cold. Some people can have more serious allergic-like reactions that can impede breathing. For this reason, I do not recommend Coolscupting for patient's with these conditions. If you are going to go forward with the treatment, I would take Benadryl before and after to limit the effects. There are other non-surgical fat reduction procedures that do not rely on cold to disrupt the fat cells. I would look into these procedures before proceeding. I hope this helps.
