How long before results with Coolsculpting?

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for
the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage
applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed
onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and
typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal
results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the
patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive
in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient
comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty
good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.

CoolSculpting technology involves crystallizing fat cells so that they can be naturally filtered from your body for good. Most patients see results after 1-3 months, but it does take the body 3-4 months to completely eliminate the treated fat cells. As CoolSculpting reduces fat in treated areas by 25% incrementally, multiple sessions are sometimes needed for a patient to achieve their personal aesthetic goal. In the next couple months, you should see a gradual reduction in thickness of your upper arms and even more with additional cycles. Consult your board-certified plastic surgeon and CoolSculpting provider regarding any questions or concerns following your procedure. Good luck!

Patients  can start to see results in as little as three to four weeks but patients usually start to see the full result by three months post treatment. I would give it some more time, i have seen great results with treatments to the upper arms.
