Predicting Negative Outcomes of Cryolipolysis in Patients With and Without Raynaud Disease.

Cryolipolysis is an effective means of noninvasive fat reduction. There are numerous relative contraindications to cryolipolysis including scars, hernias, and cold-related disorders such as Raynaud disease, because cryolipolysis has a theoretical risk of exacerbating these conditions. To examine predictors of negative outcomes of cryolipolysis, especially as it pertains to safety of cryolipolysis in patients with Raynaud disease. A retrospective review of patients who received consultation for cryolipolysis was conducted and analyzed. Patients with Raynaud disease did not experience any exacerbations of their underlying condition after cryolipolysis. Side effects in all patients, regardless of medical history, were mild, temporary, and not associated with any predisposing factors. Cryolipolysis seems to be safe in patients with mild-moderate Raynaud disease. Copyright © 2021 by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc. Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
