What Are the Most Common Problems Encountered in Coolscuplting?

Thank you for your question.

The most common risks associated with coolsculpting would be tenderness of the area, tingling sensation, bruising and/or burning sensation.  These seem to be self limiting (go away on their own with time).

Best Wishes!

CoolSculpting is a very safe treatment that has low risks. It is a non-surgical contouring treatment which freezes fat which is naturally eliminated from your body. There are some pulling, tugging or cramping feelings during the initial part of the treatment which subside after a few minutes. Then, there can be some bruising for a few days after the treatment with some numbness and tingling feelings remaining for a few weeks post treatment.

In my practice, we have seen some form of bruising commonly in patients who undergo CoolSculpting by Zeltiq.  This is expected as the suction that draws the skin and fat compartment into the machine can form a "hicky" - like bruise immediately seen after treatment and this will go away in one to three weeks.  Some focal soreness or numbness or tingling can occur and this is temporary.  There can be slight swelling for a few weeks after treatment as the body metabolizes the dead fat cells.
