Is there a way to speed up healing and reduce swelling and bruising after CoolSculpting?

I just got Coolsculpting on my abdominal area. I am 5"7 and 130 lbs and the area doesn't really have that much fat to begin with, so there was no 'stick of butter' situation. So far I'm taking Arnica orally and topically, massaging the area, and taking Bromelain. Any other suggestions to minimize the swelling and bruising? I'm going to Greece a week from today so I want minimal swelling! Would a sauna or diuretics help?

Hello,  Thank you for your question. There is no contraindication to doing CoolSculpting and laser hair removal. You may want to treat on different days so there isn't too much irritation. Other than that you should be fine. Good luck

Based on what you have described, coolsculpting does not seem to be the best option for you. Coolsculpting is not a weight loss procedure and is best used on individuals who are at their ideal weight but still has some pockets of stubborn fat. An in person consultation is always best. Please co...

It can take 3-6 months for final results with Coolsculpting. Gaining weight can impact results, but doesn't necessarily mean you have PAH. Keep in mind, some people need more than one treatment of Coolsculpting and for best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination approach. I...
