CoolSculpting did not work for me

Depending on how much fat you initially had, it could take two to three CoolSculpting sessions before you reach your goal figure. CoolSculpting also takes a while to work because it is more than just a process that your dermatologist does to you; it’s a process that your body completes by gradually excreting the fat cells killed during the procedure. It’s possible your body will take another four weeks to see results, as everyone is different.
 Many patients can’t “see” the results of their first treatment, but if you took Before and After photos or measured yourself before your treatment, the numbers and images can contradict your initial impression. It’s amazing how quickly we forget how bad the problem was at baseline! Many times, patients are surprised by the before and after photos seen side by side because a nice difference is seen even if not initially appreciated. It’s also possible that during this time you may have gained some weight, so be sure you weigh the same or less as the day you had your procedure. With that said, maybe you didn’t get a reduced fat bulge of at least 25%. That’s how much one treatment should give you. We use a Zimmer Zwave immediately after the procedure to push the result to 30% reduction. If you had a poorly placed applicator or no massage or Z-wave afterwards, this could explain less than ideal results. Please make sure to have a board-certified dermatologist to administer your CoolSculpting and request a session of Zimmer Z-Wave to maximize results.

Correct patient selection is very important to achieve the
best results with Coolsculping. People who achieve the best results with
Coolsculpting have a good diet and exercise regularly, and are either at or
fairly close to their ideal weight, but have stubborn areas that are resistant
to diet and exercise.  Thank you for your question and best of luck.

Hi! At our office, we always bring people in after 8-12 weeks and take pictures and compare. I am thinking 2 things here, a lot of times I hear people say they saw no difference until we take pics, but also often times people needs 2+ treatments to really get their desired results. It also CAN take up to 4 months to see full results as well. Hopefully the clinic will help you!

I hope that helps!
