Can Coolsculpt be safely performed after a Caesarean section?

Doctor's Answer

Yes, Coolsculpt can be performed after a Caesarean section. 2 years is an adequate time for the Caesarean scar to heal and mature. The freezing effect penetrates into the fat layer beneath the skin only, and does not affect the deeper muscle layers.

For postpartum mums who also tend to have loose abdominal skin, radiofrequency treatments such as Vanquish and Exilis are a good choice.

Apart from breaking down fat cells, the treatment also stimulates collagen regeneration and remodelling, resulting in firmer, tighter skin. Similarly, the depth of penetration of radiofrequency waves is controlled, and is safe after Caesarean section.

You can consult a doctor to discuss your concerns before undergoing any treatments.
