Can laser hair removal and CoolSculpting be done doing the same time?

Question

I want coolsculpting on my belly fat. I am currently getting laser hair removal under my navel. Would I have to wait until after my laser hair removal sessions are complete?

Hello, 
Thank you for your question. There is no contraindication to doing CoolSculpting and laser hair removal. You may want to treat on different days so there isn't too much irritation. Other than that you should be fine. Good luck

There is no reason that CoolSculpting and Laser Hair Removal can't be performed at the same office visit.

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

It's possible to perform both treatments at the same session, but not exactly at the same time, since the CS applicators bock the laser device.  You can speak with your doctor and see if they can arrange both on the same day, if I understand your request.

There is no contraindication for doing CoolSculpting and laser hair removal. If you have sensitive skin I may suggest waiting a day or so after a laser treatment before doing CoolSculpting as the specialist will use an alcohol based wipe to clean the area to be treated; even so, most patients have no issues at all.

Hello and thank you for your question. There is no contraindication for doing laser hair removal and Coolsculpting in overlapping areas of the body. I would not recommend to do both procedures in the same area at once. Laser hair is recommended every 6-8 weeks apart, so you can do your Coolsculpting treatment sometime in between those weeks you are waiting for your next laser hair session. Hope this helps, Dr. S.

CoolSculpting and laser hair removal are fine to treat during the same time period.  I would do each on separate days to reduce any irritation to the area and ensure both are equally effective.
