4 Tips for Getting The Most Out of Your CoolSculpting Treatments

How to maximize your CoolSculpting results

Do you have stubborn fat deposits that don’t seem to respond to diet and exercise? Noninvasive body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting can help. They are specifically designed to target fat cells, reshaping your body in the areas you choose to target. How does it work? CoolSculpting crystallizes fat cells, which die over time, and your body naturally eliminates them. 

While CoolSculpting can help reshape your body, it is not a weight loss treatment and is most appropriate for those with active, fit, and healthy lifestyles — that’s why engaging in regular exercise and maintaining a healthy diet is important. To achieve the best possible outcome, you should follow these tips to maximize your CoolSculpting results:

1. Choose the right provider

The first step to treatment success is selecting a reputable provider who is skilled and experienced in CoolSculpting assessments, like LaserAway. All of our treatments are performed by skilled and experienced registered nurses, nurse practitioners, or physician associates who receive regular, ongoing training and education. 

2. Keep up with the exercise

CoolSculpting works best for patients who are able to maintain a regular exercise regimen (in fact, there are even specific exercises that complement your treatments). But you’ll want to wait 24 hours after your treatment to resume vigorous exercise. 

3. Don’t forget to schedule follow-up appointments

Each CoolSculpting treatment results in up to 25% fat reduction in the targeted area, so you’ll want to schedule follow-up appointments to ensure optimal results. Most patients undergo one to three CoolSculpting treatments in each area treated. 

4. Follow a healthy diet

One of the best ways to maintain your CoolSculpting results is to follow a healthy diet (in addition to regular exercise) that includes plenty of whole foods, like lean meats, legumes, vegetables, whole grains, monounsaturated fats, and fruits. Remember that CoolSculpting isn’t a replacement for a healthy lifestyle! 

Patience pays off

It can take several months before you see noticeable results after a single CoolSculpting treatment (but those results are permanent!). In the meantime, focus on a healthy lifestyle incorporating a whole-food diet, cardio and strength training exercise, and plenty of water to ensure you get the most out of your treatments.
