There aren’t many side effects associated with cryolipolysis.
Because it is non-invasive, there are no open wounds and therefore there is no risk of infection.
However, some patients may experience redness, numbness, soreness, bruising, tingling, swelling or some discomfort in the treated area – this is simply due to how the tissue is drawn up between the two cooling plates during the procedure.
Any side effects such as those mentioned are temporary and will disappear within a few hours or days.
Cases have been reported on a side effect called paradoxical (adipose) hyperplasia following cryolipolysis treatment, particularly in men, although it is still considered rare. This is where a fatty mass appears in the treated area some time after treatment. Such a side effect can be treated and resolved with liposuction techniques.
