Many of our CoolSculpting patients want to know how they can maximize their fat reduction results. Good news: If you want to get the best CoolSculpting results possible, you only need to follow a few simple tips.
Learn More About CoolSculpting
It’s normal to feel a bit nervous before your first session if you don’t know what to expect. Knowing the basics of CoolSculpting can help you feel more relaxed during your procedure.
The science behind CoolSculpting is simple: The procedure destroys fat cells by exposing them to cool temperatures. The treatment’s specialized applicators hold your target fatty tissue in place while applying a steady stream of carefully controlled cold air. The body naturally sheds the frozen cells, and fatty tissue begins to reduce in size. Over time, your bumps and bulges will shrink, and your new contoured look will develop. It usually takes 1 to 3 months for the full results to appear.
Get the Latest CoolSculpting Technology: CoolSculpting Elite
CoolSculpting Elite takes the fat-freezing technology of this popular procedure to another level with reengineered applicators that treat up to 18% more surface area than the original applicators. This means reduced treatment times for larger areas. With dual applicators attached to a single CoolSculpting machine, providers can treat two areas simultaneously—another major time saver. The variety of different applicators CoolSculpting Elite offers means that you can get customized fat freezing on just about any area of your body, including:
- Chin/Neck (double chin)
- Back (bra fat)
- Upper arms
- Flanks (love handles)
- Buttocks (banana rolls)
- Inner and outer thighs (saddlebags)
- Upper and lower abdomen (muffin top, spare tire)
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical procedure and doesn’t require an extensive recovery period. However, it’s a good idea to still be kind to your body and give it the support it deserves. Stay hydrated after your procedure by drinking plenty of water—it might even help flush out more fat cells. Drinking a few extra cups a day will have your body feeling and looking its very best.
Skip Certain Medications, Add Massage
In addition, avoid anti-inflammatory medication for at least a week after your procedure. The body’s inflammatory response is how fat cells are eliminated after treatment, so you don’t want to suppress this vital process. You can also gently massage the treated area for two minutes twice a day, for two weeks to support the cell-removal process.
Follow a Healthy Lifestyle
CoolSculpting helps remove unwanted fat and slims stubborn trouble spots. But the best way to keep your body in tip-top shape is to follow a healthy lifestyle even after you’ve left the treatment room. Eat nutritious foods and follow an exercise routine that keeps your weight within a moderate range. By making smart choices, you can enjoy your new, contoured look for many years to come.
Have Realistic Expectations
Before heading into any cosmetic procedure, you should have realistic expectations of what the procedure can achieve. CoolSculpting, for example, shrinks pockets of fat, but it is not a dramatic weight loss treatment. Ideal CoolSculpting patients should already be within 10 to 15 pounds of their goal weight before their first session.
