Coolsculpting results after 4 week mark?

Question

I had coolsculpting done on my abdomen area 4 weeks ago, I have already had some inch loss which is exciting but I've been told I may not see much change after this point. So my question is will i continue to see positive results after the 4 week Mark? And how likely is that to happen? I should add I work out 5x week and have really reigned in my eating, keeping on a clean diet as much as possible! Thanks

It is great that you have such a healthy lifestyle and work out so much. CoolSculpting takes at least 2 to 3 months before your final results are visible. If you’ve noticed a difference at 4 weeks, you will probably be thrilled with your final, newly contoured figure. Please find a board-certified dermatologist if you would like more CoolSculpting treatments.

Hello,Thank you for your question, that's very exciting to hear about your positive results! You definitely should still see results up to three or even four months after your treatment. Especially since you are improving your diet and exercise routine. Congratulations on your treatment and good luck with the remainder of your results.

Thank you for your question!  I am so pleased that you are seeing good results.  Scientific data suggests that you can continue to get ongoing improvement for at least 3 months after treatment.  Additional treatments lead to additional benefit!

Yes, you will continue to see positive results over the next 4-8 weeks. At the initial consultation your provider would have recommended how many treatments you would need based on your examination. At ASC we would take into account the size and amount of fat deposits you have and your desired outcome. It is then that we would suggest a treatment plan, often 2-3 treatments to each area if necessary. Unfortunately, some patients agree to just one treatment and expect too much.  Remember CoolSculpting provides consistent results: 20-25% reduction of the fat cells in the treated area so a second treatment would do the same and thus get you closer to your goal.Best of luck,Oscar A.

It's great that you've already seen some impressive improvement at 4 weeks. Most patients will continue to improve for about 2-3 months. Hopefully you will too.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa Aesthetic Centers

The data suggests it really takes 3-4 months to see the full results of CoolSculpting.But it is exciting that you have a nice early result.  Keep on doing your healthy lifestyle modifications - that will help the cause as well.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It can take up to 12 weeks to see the full effect from a CoolSculpting treatment, so it is possible that you may see further improvement after the 4 week mark.

Vinay Aggarwal, MD · Answer

Results can be seen up to twelve weeks post treatment. Four weeks is the minimum amount of time to start noticing a reduction in the targeted area. I would wait longer before determining final results. First round of treatment gives approximately 20-25% reduction of subcutaneous fat and with re treatments you could see even more of a reduction.

Congratulations on your successful CoolSculpting® treatment! That’s great that you’ve already started to see results. Keep in mind that you should continue to see improvements in your body contours over the course of the next several months. You have the right idea keeping up with your healthy exercise plan, as that will help to enhance your results even further.

Lee B. Daniel, MD · Answer

Congratulations on your CoolSculpting® treatment! While many people start to see improvements in their body shape within 2 to 3 weeks after their treatment, your most dramatic results may not fully develop for 3 to 6 months. It seems like you’re already well on your way to seeing lovely results, and your great diet and exercise habits are only going to enhance those even further. Keep up the good work!
