Is There Downtime After CoolSculpting®?

If stubborn fat refuses to budge despite your healthy lifestyle, it might be time to get the boost you need. Non-invasive CoolSculpting® removes unwanted fat, often with just one treatment, to help you achieve the sculpted figure you have worked for. CoolSculpting® can treat all the most common and frustrating areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and under the chin. 

What is CoolSculpting® for Body Contouring?

While many of us have a few spots where our bodies hold onto excess fat, not all of us are ready for an invasive procedure like liposuction. Non-surgical fat removal with CoolSculpting® works because fat cells freeze at a different temperature than skin or other tissues. As a result, treatment damages and breaks up fat cells without harming the surrounding area. Your lymphatic system filters away the damaged cells over time.

What Happens During a CoolSculpting® Treatment?

CoolSculpting® treatment begins with a gel applied to your skin. This gel ensures good contact between the applicator and the skin. You may feel cold and tingling when your session begins, but the area quickly becomes numb. You can relax and check emails, scroll through the news, or even take a nap during treatment. Your session will usually last between 30 and 60 minutes. 

Is There Downtime After CoolSculpting®?

You can leave CoolSculpting® and return to your daily routine with no downtime or delays. Your skin may look red, and you may feel sensitivity, tingling, or numbness in the area. Redness and sensitivity usually resolve within a few days, although numbness can last a bit longer. You may notice some areas that feel firm in the weeks after treatment. This is an effect of your body removing the treated fat cells and will resolve by itself. 

How Soon Will I See My CoolSculpting® Results?

While CoolSculpting® works quickly to damage your fat cells, it takes your body time to remove them. You may start to see results after a few weeks, but full results take up to three months to develop. Most people see their desired results with just one CoolSculpting® treatment, although some may choose to have another one. 

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®?

Non-invasive CoolSculpting® is safe for all skin types and tones. Good candidates have reasonable expectations and want to address targeted areas of fat. CoolSculpting® is not for all-over fat removal or weight loss. Ideal candidates are within 15 to 20 pounds of their goal weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
