Does CoolSculpting affect tattoos?

Hello and thank you for your question. CoolSculpting targets stubborn fat cells underneath the skin without damaging the dermal surface or the underlying tissue. This means you can safely undergo treatment without worry that the device will have a negative effect on your tattoo. However, you will be changing the contour in the treatment area, which could affect the appearance of the tattoo. For example, if the area becomes smaller through fat reduction, the tattoo could also be distorted or reduced. 

CoolSculpting will not change the ink if it is well healed and done by a professional. However size of tattoo may change depending on how much reduction in size is obtained.

Having a CoolSculpting treatment performed over an area with a healed tattoo would not affect the tattoo.
