Does CoolSculpting not work on everyone?

Whenever you have a procedure whose results are gradual, such as CoolSculpting, it’s important to take “Before” photos and measurements. You can’t necessarily see the changes day to day, because it takes months before you get your final results. Also, since you already had your abs treated, you might not have that much more fat to remove. Remember that CoolSculpting benefits are measured in inches lost, not pounds lost. It’s a body-contouring procedure. I’ve never encountered a case where CoolSculpting worked for someone and then ceased to, even when they still had a layer of treatable fat. It’s possible that much of the remainder of your abdominal fat is visceral, meaning inside, near the intestines, and therefore not reachable with CoolSculpting. Please return to your provider to review photos and discuss your results. If you don’t receive a satisfactory answer, please find a board-certified dermatologist whenever you need CoolSculpting to ensure the best results.

Thank you for your question.  My strong advice is to evaluate your before and after photographs with your Coolsculpting office.  Areas treated with the Coolsculpting technology typically experience a 20-25% reduction.  Best of luck.

The results from CoolSculpting can vary from patient to patient. Given that the practitioner is using the proper application, patients should experience 20-25% reduction of fat in the treated area. Sometimes more! Here are a couple things to consider:* Because you had already had an excellent result from your first CoolSculpting treatment on the abdomen, there was less fat in the area. So, it's logical to think that 25% reduction in fat from an area that had less fat to begin with would be a less dramatic change than the initial treatment. *How long has it been since your second CoolSculpting treatment?  A fair amount of patients experience a delayed result, with their final result being at about 6 months post-treatment, as opposed to the average 3-4 months. This can even be true for someone who was a rapid or average responder with their initial treatment.*Have you reviewed your before and after photos with your practitioner? As many of the commenters have stated, often time patients don't think they've had a result until they see their before and after photos side by side. Because it is a gradual process, patients often forget what they started with! I hope this helps!
