There are many different cosmetic treatment providers floating around that say they can get you the results you’ve always dreamed of. Some may get you close, but consumers should still be wary of the claims they make. These treatments may have extreme side effects, require multiple procedures, or cause long-term damage.
One of the procedures with potential to backfire is called CoolSculpting, and while it may be popular, the risks of CoolSculpting are something everyone should be aware of before proceeding with the treatment. Here’s what to watch out for.
CoolSculpting Side Effects
The side effects of CoolSculpting manifest right from the get-go, beginning with an extremely uncomfortable tugging sensation at the treatment site during the procedure. Because a typical CoolSculpting procedure takes around two hours to complete, it won’t be just a pinch. Not only that, pain at the treatment site can last up to two weeks afterward! The area can be swollen or bruised, and your skin may become sensitive and red.
Another potential danger of CoolSculpting, although rare, is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This occurs when the fat cells that are being targeted actually grow instead of shrink, which may cause long-term damage in the treatment area.
It’s also common for CoolSculpting patients to lose sensitivity in their treatment areas—sometimes for good. That part of the body might be completely numb forever, and if feeling does return, it won’t necessarily go back to the normal level.
More Time and More Money
Another con of CoolSculpting is the cost and time associated with it. CoolSculpting isn’t a one-session treatment—you’ll be making several trips to the clinic, which potentially means experiencing weeks, if not months, of ongoing side effects. These extra hours of treatment and recovery time add up to days of productivity lost. You’ll also be paying for each session, so there’s a greater financial burden to consider as well.
