How Long CoolSculpting Arm Results Seen?
It can take 3-4 months to see the full effect from a CoolSculpting treatment but some patients can begin to see some improvement after about a month.
The number of treatment sessions can vary by patient, but in my experience, the range is usually between 1-3 sessions to obtain the desired result. (Michael I. Echavez, MD, San Francisco Facial Plastic Surgeon)
It can take up to 3 or 4 months to see results from your CoolSculpting treatment.
Many people see their results between 1-3 months of treatment. A lot of times the results are gradual, so at my office we do follow up pictures at 90 days to see each patient’s results.
It is fine to do your second treatment at least 30 days after your first treatment, so two months after is fine.
CoolSculpting Technology Delivers Precisely Controlled Cooling
Coolsculpting on the upper arms
Sometimes multiple treatments are required to see a visible difference. There are some things to remember. Coolsculpting is an excellent treatment for non invasive body contouring with high satisfaction rates but patient selection is very important.
In addition, not everyone who has the procedure will have a visible improvement and therefore it is important to have realistic expectations. Sometimes improvement is not visible until the second treatment. (Hardik Soni, MD (not currently practicing), Summit Emergency Medicine Physician)
How long to wait for results?
The usual time for optimal results is 3 months. Zeltiq recommends waiting at least 3 months between treatments. You massage in the interval time period is essenetial to optimal results as are improved diet and exercise. (R. Brannon Claytor, MD, FACS, Bryn Mawr Plastic Surgeon)
Fat Cells Freeze At Higher Temperatures Than Surrounding Tissues
Coolsculpting Treatment
Depending on the amount of fat that is located on the upper arms, here at Refined Dermatology, we typically do anywhere from 2- 4 cycles one month apart. Most of our patients begin to see results between 4-6 weeks.
Give it a few more weeks and make sure the provider you are seeing is taking pictures, that way you can see if you are getting improvement or not. (Steven Swengel, MD, Los Gatos Dermatologic Surgeon)
How long before results with Coolsculpting?
Patients typically start seeing results around 3-4 weeks with final results around 3-4 months.
Results can be gradual so we recommend taking before and after pictures to see results. We have had tremendous success with the upper arms. (Brian C. Reuben, MD, Salt Lake City Plastic Surgeon)
Upper Arms Before And After
After CoolSculpting you will usually start to see results after 4 weeks and complete results in 3 to 4 months. Multiple treatments to the same area may be needed for best results. I usually space the treatments by 8 to 12 weeks. (H. Daniel Zegzula, MD, Portland Plastic Surgeon)
Though some people may see improvement in as little as 3-4 weeks after a CoolSculpting treatment, it can take up to 3 months for noticeable results.
Before and after pictures are very important. You may not notice a difference yourself, but when you compare before and after pictures you may notice some improvement.
Almost everyone that treats the arms will need at least 2 treatments for optimal results. Having realistic expectations and being committed to multiple treatments will increase the likelihood of being satisfied with your end results. Of course, this all assumes that you were an appropriate candidate for the treatment to begin with as not everyone is, especially for the arms.
Make sure you discuss all of your concerns with your treatment provider. (Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS, Sherman Oaks General Surgeon)
It can take approximately 3-4 months to see optimal results from a Coolsculpting treatment. (Daniel J. Ritacca, MD, Chicago Oculoplastic Surgeon)
It can take 9-12 weeks to see results. (Martin Jugenburg, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
