I got coolsculpting five days ago on my abdomen and my whole body is itchy. My fingers started to swell and I develop rashes that come and go. Could my liver be in overload?
Answer: Coolsculpting Itching in the area treated with Cool sculpting is a common adverse reaction. It helps to ice the area or take oral Benadryl. If the itching continues for more than a week, you should contact your doctor. Cool sculpting is FDA approved and will not harm your liver. Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.My best, Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMM Beverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Itching from CoolSculpting Hello, Your liver can't "overload" from Coolsculpting as its a very safe procedure. It can cause minor local irritation and sometimes late onset pain, so I would recommend to check with you physician to see what else could cause your symptoms and to take some OTC medication to reduce local swelling and inflammation.

Answer: Itching after Coolsculpting Thank you for your question. No Coolsculpting cannot overload your liver. However, it is common to have itching sensation in the treated area after Coolsculpting treatment. You can ice the treated area and take Benadryl to help relieve the itching. If your symptoms continue for more than a week please follow up with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
