Clinical Studies Back CoolSculpting Safety

CoolSculpting has a high safety profile. It is also backed by FDA clearance and countless scientific studies. One such study was published saying, “ No significant side effects or adverse events were reported,” and concluded, “With proper patient selection, cryolipolysis is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective treatment method for reduction of subcutaneous fat.”

The study, “Cryolipolysis For Noninvasive Body Contouring” published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology also supports CoolSculpting’s safety. The study reports, “ Cryolipolysis has been proven to be a very safe method for body contouring, and is accomplished with only minimal discomfort” and concludes, “Cryolipolysis is considered to be both safe and efficient with a high patient satisfaction rate.”

CoolSculpting Side Effects

After a CoolSculpting treatment, the body triggers a natural immune response. This triggers the gathering and disposal of dead cells via the lymphatic system. As a result, after treatment, people may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness
  • Bruising

The symptoms are the result of natural immune response and are isolated to the treatment area. Furthermore, most of those treated experience mild symptoms, if any are present, and they resolve themselves within one to two weeks.

CoolSculpting Risk

CoolSculpting risk is low. However, there are rare cases of adverse reactions. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia at the treatment site is an example of an occasional risk. It is a severe side effect that occurs when frozen fat cells grow larger. It happens mostly in men after treatment.
