Eye bags cannot be treated with Coolsculpting. There are other treatments available that may help your concerns depending on your anatomy and candidacy so I would recommend an in person exam. (Kathleen Morno, MD, Highland Park Physician)
Coolsculpting can’t be used on the face
Though Coolsculpting can be used for the submental area (under the chin), it can not be used on the face or under eye area.
Though the Cool Mini for the submental area is significantly smaller than the other applicators, it is still way too big for an area as small as the under eye.
Consider a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your options for that area.
You may be surprised how uneventful addressing under eye bags can be. . (Grant Stevens, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)

CoolSculpting an Under Eye Bags
It is not FDA-cleared to treat under eye bags, nor do they make an applicator that would fit correctly on that area. There are many other options for under eye bags, wrinkles, etc., so it is best to see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and find out your best possible options. (Jeffrey M. Hartog, DMD, MD, Orlando Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting for treatment of under eye bags
Coolsculpting cannot currently be used to treat under eye bags. The only facial area that can be treated with Coolsculpting at this time is the submental area, or the area beneath the chin. Fullness under the eyes can be caused by fat or by fluid collection.
If your doctor determines that the bags are caused by fat, you can undergo a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to remove the fat or you can use fillers to temporarily lessen the appearance of the under eye bags.
You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. (David P. Rapaport, MD, FACS, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
The FDA and Zeltiq, the company that manufactures the Coolsculpting machine, have note done or released any studies on treating fat under the eyes. There are other options such as fillers, radio frequency (Thermi/Pelleve) and ultrasound (Ultherapy) that may help with that area. (Steven Swengel, MD, Los Gatos Dermatologic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting for eye bags
CoolSculpting cannot be used to treat eye bags. If the eye bags are caused from protruding fat, they can be improved with surgery or by using a filler under the bags to help camouflage them. (Michael I. Echavez, MD, San Francisco Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Cool sculpting of the face
Undereye Filler
Unfortunately this is not an area with FDA clearance for cool sculpting. This being said the area would be entirely too small to treat with the current applicators. Please see your local cool sculpting provider to discuss. (Emily Hartmann, MD, Chico Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting under the eyes
As of now, CoolSculpting can be used under the eyes. Other comments in this form have suggested that Ultherapy can be used to treat bulges under the eyes and I want to emphasize the fact that treatment close to the eyes with Ultherapy is not safe.
It is not possible to adequately protect the eyes from focused ultrasound. If you have concerns about the aesthetics of your lower eyelids, I would strongly recommend consultation with someone who has a great deal of expertise in both surgical and nonsurgical approaches to eyelid rejuvenation as these approaches are often used in combination to achieve best outcomes. (Brian Biesman, MD, Nashville Oculoplastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting Safety
The CoolSculpting procedure has many safety precautions to target the fat and prevent injury to the skin over the fat. If the skin gets too cold, it could cause frost bite in that area of skin, resulting in a full thickness loss of skin, scarring, and disfigurement. The CoolSculpting applicator uses a gel layer to protect the skin and senses if the skin gets too cold. The applicator provides a very specific and regulated temperature to make sure that the procedure is safe, and it automatically stops if it senses a problem. At this time there is not an applicator designed for areas that small, and it is FDA approved for the trunk and thighs. Trying to get the same results in the eyelids with ice would be very risky.
