What Preparations Are Done Before a Coolsculpting Procedure?

There is actually no preparation necessary for coolsculpting.  The most important preparation is to confirm that you are a good candidate for the procedure.  The best candidates are those that are at their ideal weight or close to their ideal weight, but have small bulges of pinchable fat.  These areas of fat can be treated by coolsculpting.  About 30% of the fat that gets sucked into the probe will dissolve over the following 2 months.  There is minimal downtime, so you can resume your exercise routine the following day.

There is no preparation needed before CoolSculpting.  Patients should be in good physical health and in their optimal weight.  Patients should already be maintaing a healthy diet and exercising.  I always advise patients to eat before any cosmetic procedure so as to reduce the chance of being vasovagal.  You should definitely be within five pounds of your desired weight - or close to your optimal weight.  CoolSculpting is designed to freeze/decrease a bulge - and that it does effectively.  Most of my patients have been so happy that they have returned for a second treatment in a different area.  Find a dermatologist in your area with a lot of experience with Coolsculpting for your treatments.

No preparation needs to be done before a CoolSculpting procedure. As long as you are a good candidate, that is all that is needed for a successful treatment. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation.

The truth is the closer toy our ideal body weight the better, but not everyone is!  There is no special prep like fasting or blood tests.  It is an outpatient office based procedure that you can walk out and drive yourself home from.

There is no preparation needed prior to Coolsculpting. The best candidates are chosen after careful evaluation by the physician. After that neither diet nor exercise routine is needed prior to treatment. Results are excellent, consistent and safe.

There is no specific preparation necessary prior to cool sculpting procedures.

Similar to liposuction surgery,  it is best for patients undergoing the cool sculpting procedure to be close to their long-term stable weight. The treatment is designed for isolated diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue “pockets”. Again, similar to liposuction  patients,  it is best for patients to maintain their weight after the cool sculpting procedure.

Best wishes.

Coolsculpting is a very well tolerated procedure. I would bring some music or a book to enjoy during the procedure. The amount of time you spend with Coolsculpting depends on the number of treatment areas (1 hour per treatment area). If you are planning multiple treatments, then plan to spend several hours for the treatment. On occasion, some patients have requested an anxiolytic prior to the treatment because the first 10 minutes of the treatment is moderately uncomfortable.

It is ideal to be close to your goal weight both before and after your Coolsculpting procedure. (Most certainly after)  Though a certain portion of the fat in a given area is treated and there is volume loss and contour change, that can change back if you don't maintain your weight after the procedure.  Weight gain has to go somewhere. Prior to the procedure, if you are trying to minimize any potential bruising, it would helpful to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, aleve, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo and alcohol.

Good luck~

There isn't any preparation necessary for having the CoolSculpting procedure, you should just have an inch to a softball size of fat to pinch. The areas that can be treated include; abdomen, flanks, arms, buttock crease, medial thighs, back and male gynecomastia. You have an opportunity to lose about 20-40% in fat reduction of the area that has the procedure.  The best thing to do is to come in for a consultation and be evaluated for the procedure to make sure that you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting.

Dear writer, No Specific Preparation needs to be done Before a Coolsculpting Procedure. No specific dietary regimen or exercise may be followed. Avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other 'non steroidal anti-inflammatory' pills may be helpful to minimize bruising from the suction of the CoolSculpting applicator, but since there is no cutting or injections involved in this procedure, this may a consideration before treatment, but would not preclude it. Wishing you a great CoolSculpting experience, from Miami, Dr. Leyda Bowes
