Can I get CoolSculpting if I have Lupus?

Yes, as long as you are cleared by your Doctor, you can have Coolsculpting. For best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for a toned result, but requires more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. In general, there is no reason for avoiding Coolsculpting in Lupus patients. Having an autoimmune disease doesn't mean you would have a complication from CoolSculpting. I recommend checking  with your rheumatologist if they have any concerns regarding the cold temperature that your fat is subjected to during CoolSculpting.Best of Luck ,Andrew T. Lyos, MD, FACS

We have treated patients with various autoimmune conditions in our Del Mar, CA dermatology practice. Lupus included. However, I would check with the PCP or Rheumatologist that is following you for your Lupus and make sure they are in agreement. 

CoolSculpting should be fine with lupus, but it would be best to check with your primary doctor or whoever manages your lupus first.
