Risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) from 15 minutes of CoolSculpting?

W
Worried2345Apr 8, 2022

Hi, I recently had a coolsculpting session for about 15mins and I saw one of the risk is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. Given that it's only 15 mins, is the risk minimized? The sculpting was done on my abdomen. Thanks.

CoolSculpting can reduce fat in the arms. Normally, two treatment sessions are needed to obtain the best results and I would say that the treatment is not at all painful. EmSculpt is a muscle toning treatment, so this would not primarily be focused on fat reduction.

​I find that VASER liposuction in combination with Renuvion or ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with Thermage/Ultherapy/Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or Coolsculpting. I recommend g...
