How soon after Coolsculpting can you get back to the gym and what exercises to avoid doing?

Hi,There is no down time with coolsculpting. You can go to the gym the same day!

My best,

In regards to coolsculpting and “downtime”, there are no restrictions mandated by the manufacture of the device. With doing this non-invasive treatment, there has been no recovery time, or downtime noted per patient response. I find that recovery time is based on the treated individual and their comfort level. Majority of patients go back to their normal scheduled daily activities right away after treatment.

CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, so you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary, not problematic, and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over. You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months

There is no true downtime or avoidance of exercise needed after coolsculpting.  There can be some discomfort, tenderness, swelling or bruising that will make some exercises uncomfortable.  But nothing need be avoided.  Some patients prefer wearing compression clothing for a few days after when running or doing other jostling exercises, but it is not necessary.

There is no downtime with the CoolSculpting procedure. You can resume all your regular activities immediately, including going to the gym. However, use your own judgement and if you experience any discomfort then don't over do it. Best of luck.

Coolsculpting is a non-surgical treatment and requires no recovery time. You may resume your normal activities immediately after receiving Coolsculpting. Some patients might experience some swelling, tenderness and burning sensations. This may make exercising very uncomfortable. Please consult your physician.

The nice thing with Coolsculpting is that you can return to regular exercise the same day or the next day.  There are no restrictions post procedure.  Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

It depends how you feel after the treatment, some patients like to take it easy for a couple days because they feel sore. However, others work out the same day.
