Why is CoolSculpting not recommended for patients with severe anxiety disorders?

Thank you for your question.  Coolsculpting is a treatment that absolutely can be performed on a patient with anxiety.  Best to discuss your medical history with your Coolsculpting technician.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. There is no reason that someone with anxiety cannot undergo CoolSculpting. If a patient has specific concerns about being able to tolerate the treatment, those can be addressed on an individual basis. I would suggest Consulting with a highly experienced physician who is knowledgeable about CoolSculpting.

Anxiety is not a contraindication for the procedure, but may be something that you need to take into consideration before your treatment.  Yes once the applicator is placed, you will need to be fairly still and not move around too much.  This also depends on the area that you are having treated.  Too much movement cause cause the applicator to pop off.  The devices are somewhat bulky and the machine does make some noise.  Most people find the noise relaxing.  It would mostly depend on what triggers your panic attacks or anxiety.  You should visit a CoolSculpting provider to discuss these issues with them and see what there recommendations are for you.
