What is the optimal time between Coolsculpting treatments in the same area for the best result?

With Coolsculpting it takes about 3 weeks after treatment to start seeing improvements.  Final results usually take around 3 months.  Some patients, mainly thinner ones, may get to their final results around 2 months but that isn't the norm.  I recommend waiting 3 months before going forward with additional Coolsculpting treatments in the same area.  At that time the patient will be at their final, new shape, and they can be appropriately assessed to make sure further treatments will be performed on the precise area in order to give the desired improvement.  Best of luck.  As always, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for your body contouring needs.

Thank you for your question. You can have another treatment as soon as 30 days after your initial treatment. However, some patients like to wait the full 3 months since it takes it about 9-12 weeks to see the full results. Regards,

It is best to wait 8-12 weeks however you can get this done as early as 4 weeks if there is no bruising or swelling.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi, and thank you for your question.  The recommendation is 1 to 3 months before the next treatment. If we know you definitely need 2 treatments, we try to schedule the second one within 1 - 2 months.  If you are not sure you need a second treatment, then you should wait 3 months to give it time to see optimal results.

There is no exact answer for the optimal time to wait between CoolSculpting treatments and the decision is made by the patient and the treating physician.  I have done treatments as soon as a month in between but my preference is to wait at least two months if possible.  There certainly is no harm in waiting more than two months though.
