Know Before You Go: CoolSculpting® Dos and Don’ts

• Do continue to eat healthy and exercise. CoolSculpting® is not meant as a replacement for healthy habits, and while the procedure targets fat in your treatment areas, it doesn’t prevent other fat cells from expanding. To maximize the results of CoolSculpting®, and to achieve your desired results in other parts of your body, we always recommend a healthy diet and regular exercise routine.
• Don’t be concerned by some bruising after your treatment. CoolSculpting® is extremely safe, but some side effects are normal. You may experience tingling, itching, redness, or bruising, but these should go away after the first few days or weeks following your procedure.
• Do expect to return to your usual routine quickly, often on the same day. While you may experience some redness or bruising, you will still be able to get back to school, work, or exercise quickly without much, if any, discomfort.
• Do be patient if you don’t see immediate results after your procedure. It can take up to two to four months for your body to absorb the fat cells that were destroyed, so you shouldn’t expect to achieve your desired results right away.
• Do consider additional treatments if you like your results but want to see even better ones. You’ll see the full results of your initial treatment after about 16 weeks. After that, you can perform a second procedure on your targeted area. In addition, sometimes patients discover new areas they wish to be treated or develop new areas of fat that exercise alone can’t eliminate.
• Don’t expect harmful effects after the procedure. CoolSculpting® doesn’t harm any healthy tissues. While you may experience itching or see redness in the treated area, those side effects will diminish within a few weeks of your treatment.
