Is Coolsculpting safe to use around armpit area near breasts? The small applicator fits well on both sides.

The patented cryolipolysis technique invented by Zeltiq for its CoolSculpting system is an extremely safe and effective way to remove excess fat, creating a more pleasing and beautiful physique. Armpit fat can ruin the look of a dress, bathing suit or other clothing, making you feel quite self-conscious. The CoolMini applicator that you referred to is indeed the perfect fit for most arm pits! CoolSculpting near the breast is perfectly safe, if performed by a board-certified dermatologist who has been certified by Zeltiq. You may need more than one treatment, depending on how much of a change you want; CoolSculpting removes about 20% to 35% of fat in one session — particularly when followed by a Zimmer Z-wave radial pulsed therapy treatment. Start consulting dermatologists now to find out if you are a candidate for this effective way to get beautiful, sleep upper arms. 

The CoolMini is normally used for underneck fat when removing the fat non invasively with CoolSculpting but physicians have used it off label to reduce bulges of skin near the underarm above the bra, on the back above and below the bra and above the knees.There may be risks with any treatments so discuss this with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs. 

Thank you for your question. Yes, Coolsculpting is safe to use on the area around the armpit. The CoolMini is an applicator designed to treat submental fullness, which is also great to use to treat armpit fat. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. Best of Luck!

This area is great for coolsculpting and the mini or curve applicator, depending on what fits the best.  There are certain body areas that are specifically cleared by the FDA and others that it can be used on but are "off label" uses.  Your physician will explain that to you.  It is very effective in that area.

Fat accumulation near the armpit is a common problem.  There is a coolsculpting  hand piece that can be used perfectly in that area and it is safe.

CoolSculpting is safe to use on any of the prescribed treatment areas, including the area around the armpit. During the coolsculpting treatment, only fat cells directly under the applicator is frozen. Surrounding tissue and skin remains unharmed. The CoolMini, a recently released CoolSculpting applicator specifically designed to treat submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, is also very effective at treating arm pit fat, commonly known as bra bulge.

Yes! CoolSculpting is a very safe treatment for the bulges around the armpit. Talk with your technician and see if the CoolMini is a good option for you or maybe even Kybella. 

Yes, Coolsculpting is safe for around the armpit area next to the breast as long as breast tissue does not pull into the applicator.

Hi emdianne,CoolSculpting is one of the safest, most effective and popular treatments for the armpit area. These fatty deposits accumulate and tend to bulge out when wearing tight fitting underwear. Another option is Kybella. Fat cells that are affected die and don't return.Justin Harper, M.D.
