CoolSculpting Side Effects and Risks

CoolSculpting is a safe procedure. It became an FDA-approved fat reduction method in 2010 and has been securely performed in Europe for around 5 years. The cold exposure is not done suddenly that it directly kills fat cells; instead, the procedure initiates a natural programmed fat cell destruction, which means it would take 2 months for you to see the results. The killed frozen fat cells are naturally eliminated and are excreted by the body. The only contraindication of undergoing CoolSculpting is if you have cold-intolerance. Go to this site and see if you are qualified to undergo such treatment.

CoolScuplting can be a little uncomfortable in the first several minutes of the treatment but it may feel more like a weird suction and cold feeling than pain. Eventually, you will feel a barely obvious numbness.

This weird sensation is greatest when done with the largest areas and reduces for smaller areas. Right after CoolSculpting, the treated area may experience mild to moderate soreness, numbness and tingling. Mild bruising is sometimes experienced but it is not common. The soreness can last for 2 to 3 days and may feel like muscle soreness after a rigorous exercise. The numbness may feel like when your skin was exposed to intense cold. It reduces with time and is typically limited to at most 3 weeks. CoolSculpting is not known to cause long-term damage to the nerves.

With normal settings, CoolSculpting should only cause a little pain or bruising. At times, the suction is greater for thinner patients in order to obtain the proper exposure of the area to be treated. Greater suction can also increase the possibility of bruising, although it is also limited and minimal.
