Will I be safe to get my first Coolsculpting treatment today even though I just started an antibiotic for the flu yesterday?

Hi there,
You're in luck!  Unlike laser treatments, antibiotics are not a contraindication for Coolsculpting. You may proceed with your Coolsculpt treatment as planned. Just make sure you are feeling up to it, as the treatment can take several hours to complete (depending on the amount of cycles you are doing). Also, your providers will be up close and personal with you, so you do not want to get them sick! Enjoy your treatment.Best,Dr. Paul Flashner

Hi!  You do not have to worry about being on antibiotics and having CoolSculpting treatments.  It is safe to proceed with your treatment.  Just make sure you feel up to it, and that you are not contagious.  Best of luck!

Hi there! Antibiotics are not a contraindication for CoolSculpting. I would be more concerned with how you are feeling and if you are contagious. If you are contagious I would consider rescheduling the treatment. Good luck to you!

Hello ashleymbdo,There isn't a contraindication to having CoolSculpting while on antibiotics. If you are feeling better and not contagious then there's no problem with proceeding.Best of luck,Oscar A. Aguirre, MDUrogynecologist & Cosmetic Vaginal Surgeon

You can absolutely get coolsculpting done while on antibiotics as long as you have the energy to be in the clinic for the treatment part. We use the lastest applicators so its much faster than the traditional treatment. Good luck and great choice for sculpting the body. 

Hi,There is no reason you cannot have CoolSculpting while on antibiotics. As long as you feel well enough to lay in the same positon for up to an hour, you should be fine. Thanks for the question.

You can have Coolsculpting while on the Z-Pak. Keep in mind, some people need more than one treatment of Coolsculpting and for best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination approach. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing to improve your final results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a very safe procedure. However, all treatments have potential side effects, although with Coolsculpting they are very unlikely to occur. Your treating physician should discuss all potential side effects and expectations before your procedure. I hope this helps!

Hi there. There is absolutely no contraindication regarding CoolSculpting while taking antibiotics. However, it is important that you take care of yourself, and be aware of the health of those around you. Although CoolSculpting is not invasive and has little to no downtime, it is still a process that you will want to be feeling well for. I hope you feel better soon. And, good luck with your CoolSculpting journey!

Yes, there is no concern with proceeding with CS while on antibiotics. These meds will have no effect on the cryolipolysis, or fat freezing, treatment.
