massaging after coolsculpting
Dec 28, 2018
Hi. Massaging the area for days after coolsculpting does definitely does not hurt anything, however there are no studies showing that it will improve the results. However, the massage immediately following the procedure has been proven to improve results and is very important.

coolsculpting and age
Dec 3, 2018
Given your age, coolsculpting is a great option for you since it is non-surgical. You body will still be able to clear the fat cells. There is a safety mechanism on the machine- it will shut off if it detects the cooling coming into direct contact with the skin. Good luck!

Generally weight loss drugs do not interfere with birth control pills. However, if the weight loss drug is not a prescription it will not be regulated by the FDA, therefore, it could potentially have additives that are not listed on the bottle and the interactions would be unknown.

Coolsculpting can give great results under the chin. You should be fine to keep any plans you have, even if you have some the same day of treatment. There is normally not noticeable swelling to the area.
What would be the best method to remove my double chin?
treating a double chin
Oct 23, 2018
Thanks for the question. The cool mini can be very effective under the chin and you may get great results from it. However, it does not appear that you have an abundance of extra tissue to be treated. Therefore you might also want to consider Kybella. Kybella destroys the fat cells and is a series of 3 treatments spaced one month apart, with maximum results seen three months after the last treatment. Again, coolsculpting is also a great option for people with enough tissue in the area….
Should I do Microdermabrasion or Microneedling for acne scars and pigmentation?
Microderm or Microneedling
Oct 23, 2018
Great question! Microneedling and microdermabrasion can be combined and done in the same visit for maximum results! By doing microdermabrasion prior to numbing the skin you can get better absorption of the numbing agent and achieve the best result needling on freshly exfoliated skin.
However, if you are only able to do one treatment I would advise the microneedling. Microneedling encourages the skin to make new collagen that will help to even out your texture issues while…
What is causing this stinging pain 5 days after treatment?
pain after coolsculpting
Oct 23, 2018
Thanks for the question. It is not uncommon to have nerve pain and a “stinging” sensation after coolsculpting, especially with the older applicators. This can last for several weeks. I have also not had anyone have this pain with the new applicators. If the pain is severe, Neurontin which is a prescription medication, can be prescribed by the physician where you had the coolsculpting done at.

coolsculpting for loose skin

How long do I have to wait after c-section to have Lipotropic Injections?
Lipotropic injections after c section
Oct 16, 2018
Thank you for the question. I would recommend waiting 6 weeks after a c section to begin lipotropic injections. By 6 weeks after a c section you should then be able to begin exercising to aid in the results from the injection, however you should be cleared by your doctor before you begin your exercise regimen. Injections are not recommended if you are breastfeeding.
