Does CoolSculpting provide temporary results?

September 3, 2017
Asked By:Hopeful for an answer in California, CA

I had Cool Sculpting three times. The second time I had it, it actually had the opposite effect - even though I didn't gain any weight. Still, since the first procedure worked, so I thought I'd try a third procedure. It worked for about six months, but my fat has returned in the same area where I've had the procedure done three times - lower abdomen. What the heck is going on? Is this just a temporary fix?
