How soon before next CoolSculpting session? Less than a month apart too soon?

Question

I have an appointment to get my legs abs flank done Oct 20th. My mom wants to buy me the same treatment mid November. Can I get them both done or is it too soon?

It's best to wait at least 6 weeks. However you will see your final results from CS in 3 months. We recommend our patients to wait the full 3 months to see how the body responds. Then moving forward from there on what area to treat.

How wonderful that your mother wants to help you in your quest to reshape your figure! It’s best to wait a month between CoolSculpting appointments. Although CoolSculpting is noninvasive and has few side effects and little downtime, your body may be swollen and tender after your session. During the month between treatments, your immune system is busy breaking down the fat cells that were killed with the patented cryolipolysis technique. Allow your body to do its magic before moving on to a second session. You can just adjust the scheduling with your board-certified dermatologist to better match your needs.

Hello, Thank you for your question. It is best to wait 2-3 months between treatments. This will allow you to see full results to make sure you are re-treating the areas that really need it. The legs can take a little longer (3-4) months to see full results. Good luck!

Hello, thank you for your recent questions! As long as you are treating different areas they can be treated at any time, however if you are treating the same area they need to be treated 4 weeks apart.  Best of Luck you will love this technology!

Hi.  I recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before re-treating the same area with CoolSculpting.  The majority of fat cells that have been damaged with your first treatment will still be present if you treat the area too soon.
Best of luck.

I would recommend waiting at least 4 weeks in between CoolSculpting treatment sessions.  It does take up to 12 weeks to see the results from a treatment, so there is no harm in waiting a longer period of time between treatments though.

Edward Stokes, MD · Answer

When treating the same areas again with CoolSculpting, it is important to wait 4 weeks between treatments. The swelling and numbness from the first treatment need to subside before treating the areas again. We frequently treat patients one month post treatment, and see amazing results all the time. However, I would not treat anyone three weeks after the first treatment, it's just too soon. If your Mother want s to buy you the second treatment, that's great, just wait an extra week before actually treating. Good Luck with your CoolSculpting journey!

I hope you are going to a facility with DualSculpting since you are having so many areas treated.  You may want to have some repeated at the 8 week mark and some at the 12 week mark.

Pamela Kimbrough, MD · Answer

We usually recommend waiting 3 months between treatments, in order to allow for the maximum effect of the lipolysis.  That is the way the cells die and then are removed via macrophages in the blood stream.  I am sure that the location where you had your first treatment would work with you, so you could go ahead and purchase more cycles to be used in the future.  Hope this helps!

Vincent A Marino, MD · Answer

We recommend waiting at least 30 days to retreat in the same area. You could take advantage of treating another area, or wait a little longer to maximize the results in your primary area of treatment. With 20-25% reduction per area, you will likely see great results.
