Things to Help Speed Up Coolsculpting Results?

Are there things such as anti-inflammatory teas, massage, or increased water intake that will help speed up coolsculpting result? I realize patience is necessary and downtime is as long as 2-4 months so that need not be reiterated. Just curious if these types of supplements may help? Is the delay due to down time for the apoptosis to happen, or due to the actual removal? Thanks!

Massage may help speed up recovery after CoolSculpting, but not proven

Once the fat cells die, the body needs to clear them via the immune macrophage cells. Repeated treatment, can be performed at six weeks (some doctors repeat sooner, and others later). Repeated treatment at this interval may provide a better end result than waiting four months to do a second or third treatment. see video

CoolSculpting Results

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment. There are not known supplements to speed up the process.

Massaging helps to speed up results of Coolsculpting

Coolsculpting freezes fat and the fat cells die. This process takes several weeks to months to take place. There are no studies that have shown that any medication will speed up this process.
