I've been advised that it's not safe to do Vanquish with a copper IUD & am wondering which non-invasive fat reduction procedures (targeting lower abdomen) are indeed cleared for use by those of us with an IUD
Answer: CoolSculpting Safe with IUD Vanquish uses radio-frequency which heats the fat cells. Any metal object can be heated by the treatment causing damage to the surrounding tissue and is therefore contraindicated. CoolSculpting does not cool the deeper tissues and therefore would be a safe procedure with an IUD.

Answer: CoolSculpting OK with copper IUD The CoolSculpt procedure should have no effect on an IUD. The process simply freezes fat that is contained in special applicators. Be sure to see a certified CoolSculpt practice to obtain a personalized consult to see if you would be a good candidate. Good luck!
