Is there any potential fat loss benefit from having an additional Zimmer Z-wave treatment several days after CoolSculpting?

Hi, thanks for the question.
Although many providers do recommend Z-wave treatments after CS, there has not been any studies to back this up.  Speak with your provider about his/her experience with this.
Best of luck. 

Thank you for your question. Although some physicians recommend the use of the Zimmer Z-Wave after Coolsculpting treatment, there has not been any studies to show that it helps with treatment. I recommend discussing your concerns with your treating physician. Best of Luck!

There has been a lot of discussion regarding the Zimmer (Z-Wave) and does it add value and a better outcome with the  coolsculpting procedures.  There is no hard evidence that  the Z-wave  provides a better  outcome.  Messaging is recommended for two minutes following the procedure and the Z -wave is no advantage over messaging.  The recommended messaging is for two minutes immediately after the procedure.  I see no advantage to adding the Z-Wave  days after the procedure.  It sounds like a way for someone to make extra money.

there are some providers who believe the Z wave helps more than manual massage. There is little if any evidence of a benefit and I see it mostly as a gimmick (20-30,000 massager basically). IMO there is unlikely any benefit at all, with not likely falling to about zero after the first day.

The z wave treatments are a fancy way to get physicians to buy a unnecessary machine . Their “ sciience “ is based on a single study of 5 individuals . Basically all it showed was these people achieved their final results from Coolsculpting at 6-8 weeks as opposed  to 12 weeks . It did not prove or show additional fat reduction than the normal 22.5% that is obtained from Coolsculpting alone. So if there is a need to achieve results at 6 weeks as opposed to 12 weeks, then maybe the z wave is an option , but don’t drink the cool aid thinking it makes results better ( only slightly faster and on 5 people in the study )
