Work Out, Gym Classes, Yoga or Swimming After Zeltiq Coolsculpting?

Most people run back to the gym very soon, even the next day for some, after Zeltiq.  The CoolSculpting technique is non-invasive, but can cause some tenderness as it freezes the fat in the area.  You should be aware though, that there is suction that can cause bruising so it may make you feel self-conscious about wearing a bathing suit! The brusiing may last a few days or longer. It is temporary but that may make you change your mind about doing it right before the vacation, if the bruising, should it occur, ruin your time.

Thanks for your question. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure that allows you to return to normal activity immediately after your procedure. You may have some mild bruising, swelling and tenderness but nothing that should prevent you from exercising. Best wishes. 

I generally tell my patients that you can be physically active after Coolsculpting.  I had one patient who was preparing for a martial arts exam, and I mentioned that it was ok to train the very next day and she would not necessarily hurt herself or affect the results.  However,  I did warn her that she may not feel at her 100%, which she later confirmed.

There should be no restrictions on your activity immediately after a Zeltiq treatment - this is the great thing about the procedure. You may find that the treatment area is a little red and numb for a day or two, but this subsides.

Thank you for your question. Since CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Some side effects of treatment on the abdomen include bloating, swelling and bruising, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve. However, there is no contraindication to swimming or going to the beach after treatment. Best of Luck!

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is a noninvasive treatment that freezes fat and permanently eliminate it from the body. This process is called  cryolipolysis(TM). Coolsculpting takes approximately one hour to perform per treatment area. Although there is no medical reason to refrain from your normal activities afterward, you may experience minor redness, swelling, bruising or soreness that may make you feel less than optimal – especially in a bathing suit! You should be able to swim, take yoga, stretch and enjoy your time on the beach. If you have other questions about your procedure, consult your board-certified dermatologist.

Absolutely.  The only issue will be if you develop any bruising.Body
reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or
with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula
inserted into your body. All treatments
are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes
the fat. Don’t hesitate to give us a
call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I
recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by
affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the
technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process.



The
discomfort from treatment does resolve. Taking over the counter tylenol
or naproxen resolves this in the majority of cases. If you have swelling
that is persistent then a waist binder is helpful.

One of the benefits of Zeltiq is that you can resume all of your normal activities immediately afterwards. If you are used to exercising then Zeltiq is best for you since you are an ideal candidate being physically fit. You may have some temporary bruising from he applicator but you can exercise right away. 

Thank you for your question.  One of the best things about the CoolSculpting procedure is that there is "no down time" and so patients can get a treatment and go work out later that day if they want.  I am sure you have been told that there may be bruising / swelling that may be seen if you are wearing a bikini.  Otherwise, you can do whatever you would like.

Best Wishes!
