I was just wondering if I would be able to lay out in the sun a few days after coolsculpting. I had the procedure done on my lower abdomen and lower flanks. I don't want to do anything that will screw it up or hurt myself. Thanks!

Answer: Can I Lay out in the Sun a Couple Days After Coolsculpting?
Thank you for your question. Though every patient has their own individual responses to post treatment you may find it comforting to know that, yes, abdominal swelling is considered to be a normal side effect, though not everyone experiences it. Sometimes patience have a bit of water retention...
Thank you for your message! The CoolSculpting machine "freezes" fat in the area of treatment to the point where it causes the death of fat cells. The body then eliminates the cells from the liver and then are excreted from the body!
The freezing temperature of a fat cell is why coolsculpt only affects fat cells. The gel pad placed prior to the handpiece application protects the skin from freezing. I have not personally seen irregularity after treatment. And I have done many ! Liposuction and some laser Lipo methods...
