How long does the bruising last with a Coolsculpting procedure on the outer thighs?

There usually isn't bruising using the outer thigh applicator. The flat panel doesn't  have suction so bruising is generally eliminated. Best of luck!

Because
CoolSculpting – which uses cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat
cells – has been such a popular and effective fat-elimination
procedure, Zeltiq has come up with a number of applicators of
different sizes and shapes. The applicator that we use to treat the
outer thighs or flanks is the CoolSmooth. It is a flat panel that
does not apply suction to the treatment area so that many patients do
not bruise at all. I have rarely seen very slight bruising with the
CoolSmooth applicator, which resolved within one week. The most
common side effects with CoolSmooth are a slight reddening and
perhaps some slight swelling or a tingling feeling. These all resolve
within days. The results will take two to three months for the final
outcome, so be sure to do your treatment soon, before summer. Please
find a board-certified dermatologist who has been certified by Zeltiq
as a CoolSculpting practitioner to determine if you are a candidate
for this permanent fat-removal technique. 

Bruising can occur occasionally with CoolSculpting but is not common.  When it does occur, it would probably last about as long as any bruise would, approximately 5-10 days.

Thank you for your question. Bruising from the coolsculpting procedure can last for up to 2 - 3 weeks. Regards,

Thank you for the question. Sometimes you can have bruising and it can last few days to few weeks. I would recommend to discuss with your board certified doctor. Good luck.

Bruising can last for weeks, venus legacy and cellutone/z wave can help improve the bruising more quickly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. The handpiece used for the outer thighs is flat and does not use suction. Therefore, there should be no bruising associated with treatment. However, if you do experience bruising, it can last up to 2 weeks. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your treating physician. Best of Luck!

There typically is not much bruising associated
with the Coolsculpting process especially with the flat paneled, non-suction
applicator used to treat the outer thigh. If any bruising does occur it is
usually minimal and can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks depending
on how quickly your body heals

Thank you for your question. The applicator used for the outer thighs does not use suction, it is flat. Therefore, bruising is typically eliminated. However, if there is bruising, it can last up 2 weeks. Best of Luck!

When treating the thighs, I would likely choose the CoolSmooth applicator, which doesn't apply any suction to the area. The applicator is simply placed on top of the fat you want to remove. It may redden the skin, but shouldn't bruise it. The redness generally disappears after a few hours. Please visit a board-certified dermatologist for a consultation to find out if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting.
