Hi,Immediately after Coolsculpting treatment, massage is very important. It helps break down the fat cells and improves your results by 60 percent.Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction forthe right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantageapplicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayedonset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months andtypically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve idealresults. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and thepatient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressivein the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patientcomfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in prettygood shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Great question! Massaging the treated area for 2 minutes in a kneading and circular motion immediately following treatment is very important in breaking down the crystalized cells. Once that is finished there is no added benefit in massaging the area yourself or having a massage performed in the treated area. CoolSculpting results are seen 3 months following treatment. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your question. Immediately after a Coolsculpting treatment, massage is very important. The fat cells are still in a crystalized state so the massage is helpful in breaking them down. However, after two minutes there is no documented benefit to massage. One of the great benefits of Coolsculpting is that there is nothing you need to do after treatment to achieve desired results! Good luck with your recovery process! Kind regards,Dr. Mehta
I suggest you see an expert, yes you should be massaging or getting shock therapy like z wave/cellutone to enhance the outcomes of the coolsculpting. Best, Dr. Emer.
I appreciate your question.The massage is 3 minutes.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!Dr Schwartz
Immediately following treatments the provider is instructed to massage the area for at least 2 minutes. There is no evidence that other massage following treatments increases the effectiveness. If it feels good however, it will not harm you in any way or alter the results. Good Luck.
The RN should massage the treated area immediately after the treatment for at least 2 minutes. Since you are about a week out I would not worry about doing so, this is not required but it certainly won't hurt you to do so. Best of Luck.
Massage by the physician treating you is recommended immediately after a CoolSculpting treatment but it does not need to be done later by the patient at home. Massage at home would not harm anything but it is not felt to be beneficial to the results.
You do not have to massage for better results following cool sculpting. It certainly won't hurt you to do so, but this is not part of the post treatment plan. Best of Luck.
It is very important to massage the treated area immediately after CoolSculpting because the fat cells are still in a crystalized state - your provider should complete this action for you as soon as they finish the procedure. This massage is helpful in breaking down the destroyed fat cells; however, after a few minutes there is no documented benefit to performing the massage. Massaging the treated area after a week has not shown any additional benefits, nor has it been recorded to hinder any healing. If the mild discomfort (numbness, bruising, or soreness) you experienced after the treatment has already subsided, it sounds as if your body is healing and should be adsorbing the destroyed fat cells.
This looks like paradoxical hyperplasia where the coolsculpting treated areas get much larger and now need to be treated with liposuction or kybella. Best, Dr. Emer.
Es, the best candidates for a CoolSculpting — meaning patients who will benefit the most — are close to their goal weight. That's because CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. Rather, as its name suggests, the procedure creates smoother contours by targeting localized pockets...
I have not seen this effect on any of the patients that we have performed over the years. Some fat is fibrous and not a candidate for Coolsculpting. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
