Some patients have seen results as early as one month but most people see optimum results in 10 to 12 weeks. CoolSculpting reduces the subcutaneous fat layer. Most people if they are within 15 pounds of their ideal weight just need one treatment. CoolSculpting is fat reduction not weight loss. It is ideal for diet and exercise resistant bulges. All the best "Dr. Joe" Gryskiewicz
20% of fat volume has been shown to be reduced after CoolSculpting by Zeltiq when studied by ultrasound measurements at four months, however some is already reduced at one month and more occurs, after four months. Some patients have less improvment than others, and other patients have much more. Many pateints will feel much more comfortable in clothing even if they don't see an obvious difference. There are times that the photographs show a significant fat reduction even though the individual didn't see the big difference because they live with their body every day and don't perceive the daily change. For a no-downtime procedure with minimal risks, this can be a great treatment for many patients provided they understand that it can not be expected to give the same volume reduction as liposuction. I have had pateints, though, who had nominal improvement after one treatment but then lost considerable fat after a series of three CoolSculpting treatments three months apart.
