Following a Coolsculpting procedure, it is recommended by Zeltiq to vigorously massage the treated area for a full two minutes.  The massage action is meant to further break down the frozen or partially frozen adipose cells, with a measured increase in effectiveness of 68% (statistic from Zeltiq).  Theoretically, there could be a difference in results for sections that were massaged more intensely than those that weren't.  Follow up with your Coolsculpting provider; you may need to be re-evaluated after full results have been reached.

Because Botox is administered through an injection, it is possible to have swelling, discomfort, or potentially bruising following treatment.  These mild side effects usually resolve within hours to a few days following treatment.  If, however, you are still experiencing discomfort or have a worsening of symptoms, you should follow up with your administering physician.

Ultherapy treatments should not have any affect on your dental implants.  It can be said, however, that you may experience a temporary increase in sensitivity when receiving the ultrasound directly over the implants.  Be sure to notify your Ultherapist for the best possible treatment.
