In our last blog, we discussed some facts you should know about CoolSculpting. To learn more, please read on!

The Results Can Last If You Put in the Effort

Plastic surgery can help you achieve the looks you want but it is up to you to make the results last. Like any other procedure, if you want to keep the great results, you will have to make a change or maintain your healthy lifestyle. This means you should eat healthy and exercise regularly.

You Will Need To Give Great Results Time

CoolSculpting can give you amazing results but you need to remember it is not one of the cosmetic procedures that give instant gratification. You might need to do several treatment sessions to achieve the perfect look. Most patients see results in a couple weeks to six months.

You Might Need to Get a Lift

CoolSculpting focuses on removing fat from the body but it will not reduce excess skin or improve the elasticity of your skin. If you have loose skin in the treated area, you can consider a tummy tuck, thigh lift, or any other skin tightening procedure to get the look you want.

CoolSculpting is a great way to tighten up some of your problem areas, without the long recovery time of liposuction. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that has great results because it freezes the fat to destroy it. For some facts on the CoolSculpting procedure, please read on!

You Might Experience Some Discomfort

While CoolSculpting is minimally invasive, you might still feel some pain or discomfort. The device is sucks up the fat and when we work on your problem areas, you might feel pressure. There is also a blast of cold air that can feel unpleasant at first. Once the procedure is over, you will notice some swelling in the treated air but this can be massaged.

It Can Take Awhile

Depending on how many areas you want to get treated, your procedure can take an hour or longer. The more areas you want to target in your session, the longer it will take. A plus side to this procedure is that you will be awake and alert. You can see if you can bring a tablet or laptop to read or watch movies on to pass the time.
