How long does it take to see final results after coolsculpting?

CoolSculpting can provide a 20-30% reduction in fat in the right candidate after one treatment, with final results usually being seen after about 3 months. The change will not be dramatic; rather, CoolSculpting provides subtle contouring of the body. Multiple treatments may be done in patients who want further reduction. If you are looking for dramatic results after one treatment, liposuction may be a better option. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist with experience in both non-invasive body contouring and liposuction for a consultation to see what procedure is right for you.

It is true that the results following a
CoolSculpting treatment appear gradually. I tell my patients that they should
notice results after about 3 months (90 days), but it can be longer in some
cases. CoolSculpting typically reduces about 20% to 25% of the fat in the
treatment area. Sometimes patients do not think they have a major result until
they see their before-and-after photos, which clearly illustrate a difference. Another
thing to consider is that some patients need 2 treatments to see the optimal
results. Finally, it is important to have realistic expectations about what the
procedure can accomplish. Thanks for your question.

End results after crypolipolysis typically are realized at about 3 months, but you may well start to see some improvement as early as 6 weeks or so.  A second treatment may be helpful in selected instances after about 3 months.  

Typically you see the final result, which is hopefully a 15-20% reduction in the size of the area treated, sometime between 3 weeks and 3 months.  You can also get a second treatment to any area.

Hello Stephanie and thank you for your question. CoolSculpting can be an excellent treatment with an average of 20-25% fat reduction in the appropriate candidates. Results from CoolSculpting can be seen in as little as four weeks, but, it takes up to three months for final results. People that usually do not see results after the treatment were either not candidates to begin with, or received sub-optimal treatment. Depending on the amount of fat in the area, some people may need multiple rounds of treatment for best results. We get very good results with our treatments because we choose our candidates very carefully. Hope this helps answer your question.

Hi definition liposuction gives you results immediately. coolsculpting takes many treatments and each time you get a very little result.  I have many patients who want more contouring and defining and significant reduction and this has to be done with a more invasive procedure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Generally it takes up to 2 weeks for swelling, bruising and itching to resolve and several weeks for the fat cells to dissolve before seeing the final results. However, many patients have seen outstanding results within 2 weeks’ time. Best of Luck!

Your final result should be present
at 4 months after treatment. Patients typically start seeing results at 6 weeks,
and we have had patients start to "feel" the results by they way
their clothes fit 1 month after treatment. Many times patients say that they don't
notice a change until they are shown the before-and-after photos, which reveal
an obvious improvement. Results are variable, but overall are improvements are
excellent considering it is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment. Thanks for
your question.

CoolSculpting results can develop over four months.  Most patients start seeing improvement around 6 weeks following treatment and see about 70% of results at three months.  The procedure is FDA approved for a 20-25% reduction in fat of the treated area.  Our office has had the procedure since it was first released, and we consistently see good results.  It is important to see an experienced provider who can do a thorough consultation to ensure you are a good candidate and adequately discuss appropriate expectations.  

coolsculpting selectively freezes fat cells to induce programmed cell
death, It has been FDA cleared to treat abdomen and flanks and most patients see a result after 1-3 months. It is unusual for a pagtient not to see a result. You may benefit from an in person consultation to see if you are a candidate.
