For discomfort and swelling after CoolSculpting can I use heat and massage?

Mild discomfort and swelling after CoolSculpting is very common, and generally gets better in a couple days. I usually recommend motrin to my patients, bu you need to contact your physician- he or she knows your medical history and is the best person to give you medical advice.

You may have some swelling for 3-6 months after Coolsculpting. For Coolsculpting aftercare, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. For best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is needed to give more contouring, fat removal, skin tightening and definition. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
