While CoolSculpting is generally considered safe, patients interested in body contouring may want to consider more proven methods. Many energy-based technologies and devices are currently being marketed to improve body contour and reduce unwanted fat. It's important that your healthcare provider educates people about these technologies, their effectiveness, and their side effects. CoolSculpting is considered a safe and effective way to reduce the number of fat cells in a small target area.
It is not considered a form of weight loss and is not recommended for the treatment of obesity. CoolSculpting is an effective fat reduction method. However, it doesn't apply to everyone and won't address the underlying cause of the unwanted fat. People who undergo the procedure must combine it with lifestyle changes to prolong their results.
