Depending on the size of the area you want to treat and the amount of excess fat in the region, you may need between one and six sessions. The recommended minimum wait time is 30 days before performing a second freezing session in the same treatment area. However, it may be a little more effective to wait a little longer. Ideal treatment results are usually seen around three months after the initial session. In general, patients can expect a fat reduction of up to 25% after a CoolSculpting treatment and can schedule subsequent treatments approximately 2 months later.
While CoolSculpting doesn't require any downtime after treatment, it can take 3 to 4 months for results to fully develop. This measured rate of improvement gives skin time to “recover” as the body gradually metabolizes and expels fat deposits. The answer to this question depends on the amount of persistent fat that you want to delete. Usually, one session is sufficient for smaller areas, but if you want to treat a larger area or have a little more fat to treat, two or three treatments may be necessary.
In general, most people achieve their desired results after two sessions. Theoretically, you can schedule several sessions to treat a specific area. CoolSculpting is safe and usually delivers the desired results in two or three procedures. However, we understand that each person responds to therapy a little differently, and so we will develop a comprehensive treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
The length of the session will depend on the patient's specific needs, but it's an incredibly simple treatment. If you're quite satisfied with your weight, but you're not completely satisfied with the look and feel of your clothes, you may be a good candidate for body contouring with the CoolSculpting device. If you have excess fat in the affected area, you will need several sessions to feel satisfied with the results of the treatment. In other words, you may be considered a good candidate for body contouring with the CoolSculpting device if you have at least five pounds of excess fat in a problem region.
Studies show that CoolSculpting Elite can reduce fat by up to 25% in a treated area after a single session. Always look for a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon and an accredited medical office when performing CoolSculpting or other cosmetic procedures. Each of the components of the CoolSculpting line is designed to work synergistically, from “fat that can be pinched” with CoolSculpting to the less maneuverable fat treated by CoolSmooth and smaller areas that CoolMini deals with. The only way to change the number of fat cells in your body is to undergo a fat removal treatment, such as CoolSculpting.
