Thanks for yourquestion.With regard to prednisoneaffecting your CoolSculpting results that really depends on how often you takethe medication.Taking Prednisone mayaffect the way your body eliminates fat during CoolSculpting process, but thereis not an absolute statement.I wouldrecommend discussing this with your surgeon and your prescribing doctor aswell.I hope this is helpful.
Thank you for your question. Prednisone is not a contraindication, however, I would speak to your provider about it first. Regards,
As coolsculpting is producing the effect of inflammation on the fat cells to rid them permanently it is inadvisable to be on prednisone at the time of treatment. Prednisone works as anti-inflammatory and therefore could theoretically alter coolsculpting.
I have no hard evidence that prednisone affects Coolsculpting, but I would say that it probably does. Steroids may protect fat cells that otherwise would have been killed. It also prevents the inflammatory response which carries out the removal of the dead fat cells. My vote is that Coolsculpting results are negatively affected by steroids.
The question is why you are prednisone. Prednisone itself is not a contraindication for coolsculpting but it is unclear to me what underlying condition you are being treating for. Perhaps you can post the entire question. Best, Dr. Green
