Coolsculpting: 7 Weeks Ago with No Results?

Hello, Thank you for your question. Ultimately it does take 3-4 months to see full results, and some patients are late responders. Don’t give up hope yet and make sure to compare your before and after pics. Best of luck and congratulations on your treatment!  

We have our patients come back to re-treat at 2 months.  We have done this a lot so we know when someone is going to need a second treatment for sure.  We don't wait 3 months when this is the case.The fat loss is permanent after Coolsculpting.  You typically lose 20-25% of the fat in the area treated, each time you treat it.  I have done it to myself and my staff.  It is truly effective and has no down time.

Best of Luck,

The 20% loss of volume in fat after coolSculping by Zeltiq is only seen four months after the treatment in the majority of patients. if you have eaten more calories or exercised less, you can negate the improvement obtained from CoolSuclpting.

Many patients do get enrolled in a series of three treatments every six weeks with very good improvement so one treatment may not be ideal for you.

It's not uncommon to not see full results until 12 to 16 weeks. So even though it is hard to be patient it is important to try to be. Since the fat cells die so slowly it takes a while for the results to show fully. You should look for 20-40% fat reduction in the area that you treated. I would re-evaluate at 12 weeks to see what result you have.

 

All the best

Thank you for your question. You can expect to see your final results in about 4 months. you cannot expect to see results immediately after treatment as it takes the body time to gradually remove the fat. You can expect to lose 20-25% of fat in a treated area. Please be patient as it takes time to see results with CoolSculpting. Best of Luck!
