Can CoolSculpting Cause Nerve Damage?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, but potential risks like nerve damage should be considered. Here’s what you need to know.

Understanding CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and kill fat cells beneath the skin. The dead fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body.

Risk of Nerve Damage

  • Temporary Numbness: Some patients experience temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few weeks.

  • Rare Cases: In rare instances, prolonged or permanent nerve damage has been reported, but this is extremely uncommon.

Minimizing Risks

  • Choose a Qualified Provider: Ensure your treatment is performed by a trained and experienced professional.

  • Follow Post-Treatment Care: Adhere to post-treatment care instructions to minimize risks.
