I had CoolSculpting on my abdomen last Wednesday and two days later I took a hot bath. Will the hot bath affect my result?

No, a hot bath two days after your CoolSculpting procedure, or even a few hours after your CoolSculpting procedure, will not affect your results. Once you leave the office, you resume your everyday activities without missing a step. One of the benefits of the CoolSculpting procedure is the lack of downtime and freedom from any after care routines at home.  With CoolScupting, there is no need to massage the treated area at home, as is necessary following the SculpSure procedure.  However, the CoolSculpting results are affected by an in-office, post-treatment massage, performed by the CoolSculpt provider.  The post-treatment massage is performed immediately after the treatment applicator is removed from your treatment area, before the frozen fat cells have a chance to thaw.  Post-treatment massage has shown nearly a 70% improvement in CoolSculpting results, vs. no post-treatment massage performed.  Here at The West Institute, we do even better.  The West Institute utilizes the benefits of the Z-Wave Pro to destroy the crystallized fat cells.  This non-invasive, hand-held, pulsed energy device allows our patients to appreciate their results within 1-2 months, instead of the typical 3-4 months, when the manual massage method is used.

I hope you enjoyed your hot bath as it would not have affected your treatment results at all.  The procedure itself and post massage, are the most important part of the treatment process.  Following that, maintaining a health diet with a regular exercise routine is what is recommended for all coosculpting patients in order to see optimal results.Best of luck,Dr. Philip Solomon, Solomon Facial Plastic, Toronto, Canada
