CoolSculpting
Zeltiq CoolSculpting and Pregnancy
CoolSculpting treatments should not affect future pregnancies. It specifically targets the fat layer and does not penetrate the deeper organs. While it its not recommended during pregnancy, you can receive the treatments when you are not pregnant. Always consult with a provider so they can determine if you are a candidate for treatment.
Clinical Context
CoolSculpting cools fat cells just beneath the skin, causing them to break down and be gradually cleared by the body over several weeks. The cooling applicator does not reach deep organs like the uterus or ovaries, which sit well behind muscle and fascia. Because pregnancy involves ongoing tissue changes and unknowns, providers wait until after pregnancy to treat. There's no evidence that having CoolSculpting before pregnancy affects fertility or a future pregnancy.
