Read on to find out more details and specifics about: How long does CoolSculpting last?!

How long does CoolSculpting last? 

Good news ladies and gentlemen! CoolSculpting does in fact last for the long haul. The fat cells that are frozen in the CoolSculpting process, and then reabsorbed and sloughed off by your body, don’t return. With a healthy lifestyle, results are long lasting. With that said, CoolSculpting Elite is recommended for people who are within 20 pounds or less of their target weight and have exercise- and diet-resistance fat in treatment areas.

Does fat come back after CoolSculpting? 

In conjunction with asking, “How long does CoolSculpting last?” many ask, “Does fat come back after CoolSculpting?” 

To answer this questions, it’s helpful to clarify that CoolSculpting Elite is a fat loss treatment vs. a weight loss treatment. What’s the difference, you might ask?

Each of us comes into this world with a certain number of fat cells. When we gain weight, it means our fat cells are getting bigger, and as a result, we get bigger, or larger in size. When we lose weight, our fat cells get smaller, and we get thinner. But with CoolSculpting, the cells that are frozen don’t return. The reduction of fat cells in treatment areas results in a loss of inches in those areas. 

If you begin to gain weight after receiving CoolSculpting treatments, then the fat cells are growing bigger or increasing in size, meaning you might gain inches in treated and untreated areas. Though with a healthy lifestyle, fat reduction results can be long-lasting, as previously mentioned. 

Up to 25% fat reduction!

CoolSculpting before and after results are amazing. Up to 20 to 25% of fat in treatment areas is reduced within 1 to 3 months following a CoolSculpting treatment. Those are CoolSculpting before and after results that are worth getting excited about! 

How long before I see CoolSculpting results?

CoolSculpting results are typically seen just a few weeks following treatment. Generally, it takes one to three months for optimal and maximum results to show. Initial results can be seen in as little as three to four weeks following your CoolSculpting treatment. Results vary between individuals, as usual, based on the amount of fat, areas being treated, the number of treatments received, and an individual’s body chemistry.

How Does CoolSculpting Work? 

During a CoolSculpting treatment, the fat cells are treated with a state-of-the-art freezing technology known as cryptolysis (the scientific term). Treatment areas are marked and paddles are placed on the areas so technology can do its job. Some feel a slight cold, tugging sensation during treatment. Many relax, rest, read, and even do work during treatment.

Since fat cells do not like cold conditions, the freezing technology does as the name would suggest – it freezes the fat cells. The outer membrane of the cells break down and the cells die. The frozen fat cells are eventually naturally eliminated from the body. The fat cells surrounding the treatment area remain healthy and intact.

Results can generally be seen within one to three months following a CoolSculpting treatment to reveal a healthier, more shapelier you.
