Can CoolSculpting Be Performed While Menstruating?

Yes, it is safe to have CoolSculpting procedures while on your period. In fact, menstruation is not a contraindication for any cosmetic or medical procedure that I can think of. (Oscar A. Aguirre, MD, FPMRS, FACOG, Denver Urogynecologist)

YES! Just be aware that during your menstruation you are more sensitive and thus may feel more of the after effects. But your menstruation will have nothing to do with results. (Jeffrey Goldstein, DO, New York Physician)

CoolSculpting during Period

Menstruation is not a contraindication for CoolSculpting, the procedure is perfectly safe. You may be more sensitive and tender in your abdomen during this time, so its entirely up to you if you would like to push your treatment back a few days.

I generally remind female patients that if your treatment is during your period, that your 30 day follow up will also generally fall during that time. I may suggest scheduling your follow up appointment after any bloating or swelling from your period has subsided, so that you and your specialist can more accurately track your progress.

It’s safe to have CoolSculpting while you are on your period. You may feel more sensitive afterwards with the swelling and numbness. It should not affect the results of the treatment.

Coolsculpting treatments will not be affected during your menstral cycle. However, in my experience,during that time of the month women tend to be more pain sensitive causing less tolerability. Also if you have bloating in the area we are having treating you will not get accurate before pictures which are frequently used as your baseline to measure your results. (Neda Vanden Bosch, MD, West Palm Beach Physician)

Yes, Coolsculpting is very safe during your period. Coolsculpting only affects the superficial subcutaneous fat and doesn’t have any impact on the intraabdominal or intrapelvic organs. (Stephanie Martin, MD, Atlanta Orthopaedic Surgeon)
