First, CoolSculpting is not for losing weight.
You should meet your surgeon and he or she can evaluate your current condition, and then determine whether you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting treatment. Generally speaking, anyone who wants to have a fit body contour but is not currently keen on invasive surgeries may be a good candidate for CoolSculpting®.
Typically, it is an appropriate treatment for those who:
- Are in good physical health
- Have a relatively good shape but still have some stubborn fat in one or two areas
- Have been unable to get rid of excess fat through diet and exercise
- Are at or near your target weight, within 30 pounds of your ideal weight
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Do not have any chronic auto-immune disorders or medical conditions
- Have a realistic expectation of cosmetic treatment
You should avoid CoolSculpting or won’t achieve the ideal effect if you have:
- Loose skin
- Poor skin tone
- Obesity
- Cold-related conditions (cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria)
If you can’t handle cold well, are under medications, or are pregnant, you are also not a good candidate for CoolSculpting.
