Will cardio help speed healing from CoolSculpting side effects? (Photo)

Thank you very much for your question and
photograph. Congratulations on your recent CoolSculpting procedure, as well.
Tenderness, bruising, and swelling are all extremely common side-effects of
CoolSculpting. These will gradually resolve over the first one to two weeks
following your treatment. Unfortunately, adding cardio or any other exercise
regime cannot speed up the healing process. Be patient and carefully follow
your provider’s recovery instructions during this time. If you have any further
questions, do not hesitate to reach out to your CoolSculpting provider.

Doing an increased or more intense level of cardio following CoolSculpting does not enhance the results. I actually don't see bruising like this often in my practice but rest assured it should resolve soon.

Thank you for your question.  Exercise, including cardio, will not help your post symptoms resolve.  Pain and swelling are temporary symptoms and resolve as healing progresses.  Best of luck.

Hello, Thank you for your question and picture. Congratulations on your treatment! Unfortunately cardio will not help the side effects resolve quicker. By the sounds of it, you are doin everything perfectly! Good luck on your results!

No, this won't necessarily help with side effects. To speed up healing, you can try adding hyperbaric oxygen, lymphatic massage, venus legacy or exilis radiofrequency treatments. For best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for a toned result, but requires more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I do not think that doing cardio exercise will affect the healing after a CoolSculpting treatment.  It is really mainly a matter of time for the bruising and swelling to resolve.  Everything else you are doing may help.  

Dear scgreen1223:There is no evidence that strenuous exercise will help resolve bruising or swelling faster, but it makes sense that increasing vascular and lymphatic flow through mild exercise that contracts the local muscles might help. Cold compresses and arnica are helpful, as is bromelain (we have a double-strength arnica pill and topical gel with bromelain). Certain lasers clear bruising significantly and we would provide that to our patients at no charge if they bruise.I hope you recover quickly because you will love the result!

Cardiovascular exercise will not help your bruising or swelling heal faster.  All that you are currently doing should help the process, but generally speaking the bruising and swelling takes time to heal. 

Think of a bruise as a pool of blood being slowly absorbed back into the body, cardio will increase your blood flow and could increase the shape and size of your bruise! I'd lay low until things heal on their own. Pineapple Juice has bromeline which helps with bruising! 

Thank you for your question, unfortunately cardio won't help you get faster results.  Keep up with the arnica as it will help the bruising.  Discomfort and swelling is very normal and this will subside within the next week after treatment.  Best of luck with your results
