Which would you recommend; Z-Wave or manual massage after CoolSculpting?

Z wave in addition to manual massage is well known to enhance the best results and reduce the post procedure discomfort.

Hi,Immediately after Coolsculpting treatment, massage is very important. It helps break down the fat cells and  improves your results by 60 percent. 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.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

I appreciate your question.Manual massage is fine for best results The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your question. You will most likely get varying opinions. Z-wave and manual massage are both effective. In addition, the proper application of massage is imperative. Hope this helps,

Zwave enhances the results of coolsculpting, there are studies that show this over massage alone.  Anyone who does coolsculpting should have Z Wave.  Best, Dr. Emer.
