Tips For Getting The Best Coolsculpting Results Possible

Whether you have recently given birth or have lost some weight but cannot seem to get rid of those pesky last few pounds, there are several reasons why you are considering CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is a fantastic, non-invasive way to reduce the appearance of fat, eliminate excess cellulite, and help you feel more comfortable and confident in your clothing. 

If you are considering CoolSculpting or have recently undergone this fantastic procedure, here are a few of the best ways to maximize your results.

Massage the Treated Areas at Home After Your Appointment

After the appointment, a masseuse or technician will gently massage the treated area for a couple of minutes. This massage is critical to help break down the fat cells that were treated during CoolSculpting, which can help you achieve better results. Additionally, the massage will help speed up the healing process, reduce bruising, and reduce swelling.

Your technician might recommend further massaging the treated area when you arrive at home. Follow the technician's instructions carefully and avoid performing the massage too vigorously, which could encourage further bruising.

Performing the massage at home can help further reduce swelling and pain and help you see even better results.

Drink A lot of Water

Drinking water after every procedure is critical to ensure your body recovers quickly. However, with CoolSculpting, drinking enough water is beneficial because it helps eliminate the waste fat cells that were broken down during the treatment. Stick with water and other non-caffeinated drinks for the first few days after the treatment.

Avoid coffee, soda, and alcohol, as these can actually hinder the healing process.

Avoid Certain Over the Counter Pain Relievers

You will typically experience some swelling and discomfort after your procedure. However, your technician will often recommend avoiding taking ibuprofen, an OTC pain reliever, and anti-inflammatory. The swelling is critical for the release of fat cells from the body.

However, if the swelling becomes too painful, ask your technician about other ways to reduce swelling without OTC anti-inflammatories, such as elevating the treated area or applying an ice pack.

 Consider Additional CoolSculpting Treatments in the Future

Finally, while many patients will achieve their desired results after a single treatment, you may want to schedule an additional treatment if you are unsatisfied. You may also decide that CoolSculpting was so effective that you are ready to try this procedure on another area of your body.

From avoiding OTC anti-inflammatories to drinking plenty of water, there are several ways you can increase the benefits of CoolSculpting.
