CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved non-invasive procedure that freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells in targeted areas. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, in which unwanted fat cells are cooled to a very precise temperature that causes them to shrink and die while leaving adjacent skin cells undamaged.
CoolSculpting has become increasingly popular among patients who are looking for safe and effective ways to reduce unwanted fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and chin.
To maximize your results from CoolSculpting, there are a few things you need to consider before and after the procedure.
Choose the Right Treatment Provider
The success of CoolSculpting treatments depends very much on the skill and experience of the treatment provider. It is extremely important to choose a medically certified, trained, and experienced provider. When researching providers, look for their certifications, years of experience, and reviews from previous patients.
Maintain a Healthy Diet and Exercise Regimen
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution, but a way to contour or sculpt specific parts of the body. Although treated fat cells will never grow back, if you fail to keep to a healthy diet and lifestyle after treatment, other fat cells will happily take their place. Naturally, leading a healthy lifestyle will produce many other benefits, but this is the best way to ensure that you maintain your new sculpted look.
Stay Hydrated
Perhaps the easiest way to maximize the benefits of CoolSculpting is to simply drink more water. Sufficient water is not only crucial for the body’s normal functioning, but it also helps to combat the normal results of aging. Hydrated skin is more elastic, and will help to maintain a toned and healthy appearance. Dehydrated skin will more easily become dry and flaky, the opposite of what you need.
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol
Smoking and alcohol are both highly negative influences on your health, but also on the body’s ability to heal and recover from injury. Smoking is well known as a primary cause of premature aging, and can be a driver for lost skin elasticity. Avoiding smoking and alcohol before and after treatment is very highly recommended.
Follow All Aftercare Instructions
Your practitioner will provide you with instructions on how to achieve the best results from your treatment. Depending on the areas being treated they may include recommendations to avoid strenuous exercise, keep away from direct sunlight, and the best ways to clean and moisturize treated areas.
