Long story short: you can't DIY CoolSculpting. Since successful fat loss with CoolSculpting requires precision, it's important to only get the procedure from a health care professional trained and licensed by Zeltiq. These specialists have undergone in-depth certification to ensure your safety.

Can you do CoolSculpting on yourself?

Because not everyone can afford CoolSculpting and it isn't covered by insurance, some people have tried to copy the procedure at home using ice and other frozen products. This is definitely not recommended. Attempting CoolSculpting at home is not only ineffective, but also potentially dangerous.

Can I use ice packs for CoolSculpting?

While DIY CoolSculpting is ineffective at best, attempting to freeze your own fat is really dangerous! Leaving ice packs on the skin for long periods of time can cause permanent damage to the skin, blood vessels, and nerves and can even lead to necrosis, or tissue death.
