How Long Does It Take to See CoolSculpting® Results?
- Posted on: Jul 26 2023
About 91 percent of people are dealing with excess fat that doesn’t seem to go away with dieting and exercise. Luckily, treatments like CoolSculpting® were made exactly for this purpose and can help you get rid of stubborn fat pockets.
But how long does CoolSculpting® take to show results? Are the results immediate or do you have to wait for weeks on end to see the effects of the procedure? This blog will give you some insight as to when you can expect to see the changes you’ve been looking for.
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
CoolSculpting® is a body-contouring technique that uses cryolipolysis to get rid of excess fat. Essentially, we will be freezing the fat cells to death, leaving them to be eliminated by your immune system. It is an FDA-approved treatment that requires no surgery and comes with minimal downtime.
With CoolSculpting®, you can reduce stubborn fat from various areas of your body, such as under the chin and jawline areas, thighs, abdomen, flanks, bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks, and the upper arms. These are the areas where your body usually stores fat pockets that are burned at a much slower rate. CoolSculpting® can target that fat, offering you a slimmer contour.
When Will You See Improvements?
For the most part, you will begin to see the first CoolSculpting® results a month or so after the procedure. You might not be able to see them with the naked eye, but if you measure yourself, you may notice that you are slightly slimmer than you were before.
However, the final results will show in about four to six months after the treatment. Depending on the amount of fat that you have in the treatment area, you may need more than one CoolSculpting® session. The best course of action would be to schedule an initial consultation with one of our highly-trained medical providers at Azul® Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa, and we will establish exactly how many sessions you will require to achieve your desired outcome.
How to Improve Your CoolSculpting® Results?
For you to optimize your CoolSculpting® results, you need to take good care of yourself after the procedure. Here is what we recommend:
1. Live a Healthy Lifestyle
CoolSculpting® can help you reduce excess fat, but it is not a miracle fat-loss procedure. The frozen dead fat cells are indeed flushed out of your system, but that does not mean new fat cannot be stored. To make the most of the CoolSculpting® results, you should try to maintain a healthy diet and incorporate in some regular exercise.
2. Massage Your Skin
Another great way to obtain quicker results is to massage your skin, preferably immediately after the treatment as this can help improve fat reduction by up to 68 percent. You can keep massaging the targeted area(s) even a few weeks after the treatment and it doesn’t have to be a long massage either—just a couple of minutes may turn out to be beneficial.
3. Drink Plenty of Water
Water is essential to all of us, and it may also help you improve your CoolSculpting® results. Drinking water is a great way to to help flush out toxins and waste products by ensuring your lymphatic drainage system is well-functioning. As a result, drinking more water may help you remove the dead fat cells beneath your skin much faster. Plus, it’s a great way to help you stay hydrated!
The Bottom Line
CoolSculpting® has gradual results that may vary from one person to another. It may take a few weeks or even months to see your desired results, but the good news is that they are long lasting.
