As of this writing, there is no literature to support taking laxatives will speed up the elimination of the dead fat cells. This process will proceed, taking the time it needs to get done. In the meantime, proper diet and exercise will help produce good and lasting results.
Taking a laxative will not have any effect on the elimination of fat cells. You urinate them out.My best,Sheila Nazarian
The fat cells are not eliminated through your stools, so taking a laxative will have no effect whatsoever on the elimination of dead fat cells. You don't have to do anything, it will happen with time. Most people start seeing results in 3-4 weeks. The process continues to work for about 3 months.
Taking a laxative after a CoolSculpting procedure will have no effect on the speed of achieving results or disposal of the dead fat cells. The destroyed fat cells are not excreted but eliminated by cells in the body, called macrophages.
The dead fat cellswill undergo apoptosis on the normal schedule – there are no externaltreatments such as laxatives which will speed up this process. The cellsare metabolized by the body and are excreted by the kidneys throughurination. Staying hydrated – i.e. 8 x 8 ounce glasses of water a daywill maintain healthy kidney function.
Q: After havingCoolSculpting will taking a laxative speed up the flushing of the dead fatcells?A: No. It takes 90-120 days for the body to naturallybreak down and get rid of the fat cells following Coolsculpting. The lymphaticsystem is the pathway primarily used. Taking a laxative will not speed up theprocess as a laxative speeds up contents flowing the digestive system, not thelymphatics.
Taking laxatives has no effect on the results of coolsculpting. The process of coolsculpting takes several months before you notice any changes.
Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do to speed up the elimination of fat cells after Coolsculpting . The elimination is a gradual process that takes time and your body does this naturally. Continuing with diet and exercise can enhance your results .
Nohydration and exercise are keyfat is not eliminated post procedure thru the stooltry to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and hydratekeep your kidneys active
Not likely. The cells will be metabolized by your system naturally . Also results may take 3 months so patience is important
Though we have seen patients lose inches, generally the change in weight is negligible. Think of the fat cells we are treating with Coolsculpting like cotton balls--though we are removing/killing 20-25% in the given treatment area and the appearance changes, eliminating 20-25% of cotton...
The applicator in Coolscupting is placed in the position to optimize freezing the fat. If you have questions you should return to your treating physician and discuss the treatment plan. Best, Dr. Green
I would have your Coolsculpting doctor speak to your transplant doctor to make sure they are on the same page. This is your safest bet.Hope that helps!Sheila Nazarian
