Can I have the cool sculpting procedure if I take blood thinners (warfarin)?

Hi! Great question! In my practice we have treated many patients taking blood thinners. None of our patients had black and blue marks post treatment. If a patient is treating many areas I tend to break the treatment in to different days. Make sure your provider is aware of your medications. Also it's always a good idea to keep your doctors in the loop if you are planning a treatment! Good luck to you!

Taking warfarin does not preclude you from getting Coolsculpting fat reduction performed. You may experience a bit of bruising in the treatment area - but even this is not likely.

This is an excellent question. CoolSculpting can be performed while a patient is on blood thinners, however be aware that you may experience temporary bruising in the areas where the applicators are placed. This bruising may last up to 1-2 weeks. If you have any further questions or concerns, I recommend reaching out to your nearest CoolSculpting specialist. Best of luck with your procedure!
