During the procedure, you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness, or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, and pain. Rare side effects may also occur, so be sure to speak with your medical provider beforehand, as the CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. Additionally, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, you can consult with our team at EpiCentre Skin Care & Laser Center to learn if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
