CoolScuplting & COVID: is it safe to have treatment after the vaccine?

Question

General question: Is it safe to have CoolSculpting 2 weeks after the 2nd covid vaccine?

Frank Lista, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your question. As long as you haven't had any adverse reactions to the vaccine, there should be no reason why you can't have CoolSculpting after getting your Covid vaccine. There are typically no contraindications when it comes to CoolSculpting and vaccinations. If you happen to be having CoolSculpting done in the same area as your vaccine injection you may just want to wait that your arm is no longer sore, but two weeks should be plenty. Don't hesitate to speak to your provider about this or about any other concerns that you might have.

its safe with or without the vaccine. we combine with trusculpt ID and flex for better outcomes. also, I would suggest  peptide and hormonal optimization to speed weight loss and tighten skin. consult with us.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have a CoolSculpting treatment 2 weeks after the 2nd Covid vaccine injection.  The vaccine should not affect the CoolSculpting treatment and vice versa.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

If you are thinking of treating the area where you had your injections with CoolSculpting, you may want to wait until the soreness and malaise has healed. Otherwise, there is no direct relation between CoolSculpting and the vaccine. Please consult with your provider for proper consultation.

Congrats on receiving the vaccine. For every person vaccinated, that's one less "link" in the chain of transmission. So I'm happy you received it.

In terms of Coolsculpting, there honestly should be no reason to NOT receive treatment. You might want to wait a couple of days because some people do feel aches and pains after the vaccine so you wouldn't necessarily want to add a treatment when you're not feeling great. But after a few days, I saw go for it!

Dear Nurturing4471, 
Thanks for this question. Yes, it is safe.

COVID19 vaccine like any other vaccine is meant to create an immune reaction. We all respond differently but in some patients, the side-effects of malaise, discomfort, fever, tenderness may be similar and therefore confusing as to the very uncommon local side-effects of CoolSculpting.

If you are a properly selected patient for both, I would recommend separating the two activities by a week apart.

All the best!
