CoolSculpting Side Effects

After a CoolSculpting treatment, a natural immune response activates. This response gathers the dead fat cells and processes them out of the body through the lymphatic system. After treatments, patients can experience one or more of the following symptoms:

swelling (medical name)
redness (erythema)
tenderness
bruising

Each symptom is isolated to the treatment area. Furthermore, these symptoms are part of natural immune response and dissipate quickly.

Coolsculpting Risks

While CoolSculpting risk is low, there are rare cases of adverse reactions. The most notable being paradoxical adipose hyperplasia at the treatment site. This risk is rare. However, it is a serious CoolSculpting side effect. It occurs when frozen fat cells grow larger. It happens mostly in men.

How to Reduce CoolSculpting Side Effects and Risks

The best way to protect yourself from CoolSculpting side effects and risks is by selecting a licensed, professional CoolSculpting provider. CoolSculpting is a skill-sensitive procedure. Therefore, your experience and results rely heavily on the knowledge and expertise of the person providing the treatment. Most adverse reactions are due to technician error or a counterfeit CoolSculpting machine.

When locating your provider, prioritize experience and reputation over treatment cost. It is important to be sure the person conducting your fat freezing is a certified Coolsculpting provider.

Avoid knock-off treatments that cost less than a genuine CoolSculpting treatment. CoolSculpting is the only fat reduction treatment scientifically verified and FDA-cleared to reduce fat using cooling technology (Cryolipolysis).
