Why am I gaining weight after CoolSculpting when I'm healthy and exercising more?

April 17, 2017
Asked By:phillygirl1002 in New York, NY

I've done CoolSculpt on four areas, twice. I've increased my exercise, have meals delivered from a special place, and Ihad two physicals in the last yr. I weigh myself every AM and my fat percentage has increased and weight increased. Yes, visually it looks like I've smooth out in the areas I've treated but areas I didn't treat like my arms and buttocks are getting bigger and my pants don't fit. What are the unintended consequences that CoolSculpt marketing isn't sharing?
