How Soon Can I Schedule Second CoolSculpting Treatment?

I generally find that the closer you space your treatments together, the greater fat reduction you get.  With this in mind, I often retreat an area after 1-3 weeks.Having said that, it is not always about maximizing the fat reduction.  Sometimes, you want to see what you get with one treatment and then develop a modified treatment plan to fine-tune the second round of treatments.  This would be discussed during the initial consultation.

If you know you will need a second session per your provider, then you can initiate the second session as soon as 30 days

For optimal results, it is recommended to treat all areas twice. The wait period in between treatments is 30-60 days. Since multiple areas are being treated, you could dual sculpt. Meaning, you can treat your abdomen and your flanks at the same time. This will cut your time in office in half and you will able to re-treat again within the appropriate wait time. 

The recommendation is to wait at least 3-4 weeks in between treatments when you plan to retreat the same area.

It's wonderful you will get to experience coolsculpting and the great results that come along with it. Like many people, they do not want to wait long to complete a second cycle of coolsculpting in the same area. Even though final results are not showing, you can move forward with a second cycle of coolsculpting after 1 month from the initial treatment. This way you will get your final results faster.Best of Luck,Dr. Paul Flashner

We recommend treating an area a second time 8 weeks post as this is when we see peak results. Most patients will treat a second and third time to get desired outcome

Most patient need to wait 2-3 months after the first treatment to see the final results. If you wish to have a second treatment you should wait at least two months before treating the same area. Some patients are happy with results after the initial treatmnet and they might choose to do another area instead or retreat that same area for additional fat reduction.

In the last year we have been treating more patients with repeated CoolSculpting per site as we see continued improvement. Typically we had suggested waiting every three months when we first offered Zeltiq but now we have our patients waiting at least two months between treatments, and two to three treatments is not uncommon.

It is optimal to wait 12-16 weeks for the second treatment so that you can be sure that you have seen the full results from the first treatment. Patients do not always need to retreat an area however, it just depends really on how large the bulge is and what the patient is trying to achieve with CoolSculpting.

Timing a second treatment should probably be done with your physician. Typically I ask patients to wait 2-4 months before retreating an area.
