No change after CoolSculpting. Is this normal? (Photo)

Coolsculpting generally takes about 3-4 months for results to show. Continue your workout regimen and drinking tons of water and if you do not see any results by then, I would follow-up with your CoolSculpting provider to discuss additional treatments or other options. 

It is very rare to see results just after 3 weeks. It generally takes about 3-4 months for your body to completely eliminate the fat cells that were destroyed during your treatment. My recommendation is to wait the full 3 months to see results then follow up with your provider to discuss additional treatments or other options!

Thank you for your question. I recommend waiting the full 3 months to see results. You can follow up with your provider at that time to see if you need any additional treatments. Regards,

Most people do not notice any real changes with CoolSculpting for about three to four months. Three weeks is too soon to worry about your results. During your procedure, fat cells in the treated areas were frozen and sent into a slow-death cycle that involves the cells destructing, macrophages consuming cellular debris, and the lymph system eliminating the dead cells through the urine. It's a long process, and you must be patient. Weight loss through diet and exercise also takes time, but the results of all of these are worth the wait. Please consult your board-certified dermatologist after three to four months if you don't start seeing an improvement.

CoolSculpting is a great, FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction of the abdomen. Patients in our office have seen an average fat reduction of 20-25% with each treatment. Depending on the patient's body composition and outcome goals, it may take more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. It takes about 2-3 months to get a general idea of the final results. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable healthy lifestyle.
