Can CoolSculpting applied directly over the kidney area cause damage to the kidney?

Hello, Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is very safe and will not affect internal organs. Please consult with your physician if you are still concerned.Good Luck!

The cryolipolysis process that CoolSculpting initiates only affects fat cells. Fat cells “freeze” at a higher temperature than your skin or other organs — such as your kidneys — do. The only side effects are generally some reddened skin and swelling, which resolves within days to weeks. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will answer your questions more thoroughly and determine if you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting.

In a person with normal anatomy, a CoolSculpting procedure done over the area of the kidney should not affect the kidney.  The CoolSculpting applicator draws in skin and fat only, so deeper structures would not be affected.  

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that Coolsculpting over the flank region will cause any damage to the kidney.

Thank you for your question.Typically, there is no damage to an internal organs. Coolsculpting is meant to just target the subcutaneous fat which is the fat that lies directly under your skin. Coolsculpting does not go deep enough into the fat that it would have an affect on organs.

Hello, thank you for your question. CoolSculpting will not cause damage to your internal organs.
The technology was actually developed after scientists studied several cases that showed that our fat cells are hypersensitive to cold, much more so than our skin, nerves, muscle, or organs. 
If you have any questions about this, discuss your medical history with your local plastic surgeon to ensure that you are a candidate for the treatment. Provided that you are healthy and a candidate for the treatment, you should not experience any issues.

The Coolsculpting process draws skin and fat into the applicators, but not the deeper structures. The kidneys are a much deeper structure, protected by muscles. In someone with normal anatomy, there is no reason to think that the kidneys could be damaged, and there is no evidence to suggest that this is the case.

Coolsculpting is only capable of freezing the subcutaneous fat.  It does not freeze muscle and certainly cannot get below muscle to freeze organs.
