How Do I Maximize CoolSculpting Results?
Have you decided it’s time to try the popular treatment that people are raving about to sculpt and slim down your figure? If you’re ready to eliminate fat, you’re ready for CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting is applied with an applicator to the targeted areas of the body where you want fat destroyed. Safely and quickly (a treatment session is only 30 minutes), the cells within the area are frozen. These fat cells die and the body then flushes them out.
You’ll see the results within six weeks, although the CoolSculpting will continue to yield improvement for twelve weeks. While you’re watching your waistline diminish, what can you do to maximize your CoolSculpting results?
Massage
As soon as your treatment is complete, your technician gives the treated area a vigorous, kneading massage, then a circular massage. This will break the fat cells down further and improve the results by over 60%. Cheng MedSpa recommends that you massage the treated area at home to continue to improve your results.
Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Your body flushes the dead fat cells out with the inflammatory response. The frozen, dead cells need to be swept away for the best possible CoolSculpting results. Any anti-inflammatory medication would work directly against this. So, for about a month and a half, avoid all anti-inflammatories, such as Ibuprofen, Advil, or Tylenol, if possible. One of the benefits of CoolSculpting is that it has no pain associated with it, so no over-the-counter medications are needed.
Healthy Diet
Now that you’ve had your CoolSculpting, stick to your healthy, balanced diet. Focus on fresh fruit, a variety of vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. This is a great time to reboot your diet if you had fallen off of it earlier, or to start one, while you’re excited and motivated by your CoolSculpting experience. Ditch the fried, processed, or sugary foods and treat your body right–and maximize the CoolSculpting effect!
Exercise
Exercise is a no-brainer when you’re trying to stay trim and fit and maintain treatment results, but it’s also great for your physical and mental health. If you have a workout regimen, stick with it. If not, get your heart rate up for about 30 minutes 3-4 times a week, and watch your hard work maximize the effects of CoolSculpting.
Continue treatment if needed
For many patients, follow up treatments aren’t needed. They are so thrilled with their first results that a second treatment isn’t necessary. However, patients who are very happy with their first outcome often return for treatments in other areas. And some patients may have areas that require additional treatment to get the full results they’re looking for.
