A popular procedure, CoolSculpting is a noninvasive treatment that can reduce the appearance of stubborn fat from areas of the body through a freezing and liquefying process. However, even though it is not a surgical procedure, there are still some serious side effects that can occur when CoolSculpting is not performed correctly. Along with some smaller symptoms, such as swelling, redness, and irritation, CoolSculpting could also lead to Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH). This condition is a delayed side effect of CoolSculpting and can result in a number of unpleasant symptoms, including the increase in the size of underlying fat cells, making them more dense and hard to the touch. Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH) can make it appear as if there is a hard lump, roughly the size of a stick of butter, where the CoolSculpting applicator was applied to the treated area.
