Coolsculpting results
Coolsculpting results can generally be seen after three weeks (some patients as soon as 1 week).
However, some patients do take longer up to the 12 to 16 maximum benefit mark. If you do not see a difference, request to meet with your physician to review pre and current photos and discuss options. (Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting Results
Some patients notice improvement in the areas treated by CoolSculpting within two to three weeks. The entire process of improvement may take two to four months.
Anyone undergoing CoolSculpting should plan on more than one treatment in the area in which improvement is desired. (John J. Edney, MD, Omaha Plastic Surgeon)
Results from Coolsculpting can be seen in 1-3 months
It may take 1-3 months to see the effects of Coolsculpting. As the body eliminates the fat, it can take some time to actually see the results in your clothing. (Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD, FACS, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting can provide improvement in a few weeks or a few months
Many patients only show improvement after several months. Studies showed that there was about 20% reduction at four monnths but the improvement continued thereafter for a couple of months on ultrasound analysis. The percent improvement was not significantly greater though, so we refer to the four month point as a practical matter.
We have offered repeat treatments at two months for patients who want to maximize their results, but retreatment can be doneat four months or thereafter. (Ronald Shelton, MD, Manhattan Dermatologic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting Freezes Fat Cells, Which Then Die
Noticing Results after CoolSculpting
Although some patients see results after 3-4 weeks, most start seeing the results at 2 months after the treatment and even sometimes takes up to 4-5 months after the treatment. Be patient to see how your body responds and hopefully you will be happy with the results. Remember that some patients need more than one treatment in an area to see the results they want. (Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting results take time – about 2-4 months
Coolsculpting is a slow process that takes 2-4 months to get results. Most patients will start to see results by 2 months, but you won’t know the full result for 4 months.
This assumes that your weight is stable (as yours is). (Melissa Chiang, MD, FAAD, Houston Dermatologic Surgeon)
How Long Does it Take to See Results with CoolSculpting
Although some patients see results in as early as three weeks most patients will see the most dramatic results between the 2nd to 4th month after treatment. Early results are not predictive of the degree of benefit one will eventually see. (Ted Brezel, MD, Long Island Dermatologic Surgeon)
Noticing results gradually after Zeltiq
Don’t worry if you haven’t noticed results yet. Some people do notice results quickly (within the first few weeks) but others can take a number of months (2-4, but some even 4-6).
Quick results are not indicative of better results overall, they’re just quicker. You are still very much in the running for a good result from your treatment, but do keep in mind that some patients do require 2-3 treatments in an area for optimal results.
It’s generally only about 25% of the fat that dies in a given area with one treatment. Hang in there. Be patient and hopefully soon you’ll be pleasantly surprised. (Grant Stevens, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting typically takes two months or more to see results
Zeltiq will tell you that it takes four months to see the full effect from the treatment but most of my patients see benefit in just two months. For some reason my male patients see great results even faster.
Within two to four months you will have a 30to 25 percent reduction in the fat in the area treated.
Many of my patients have noticed that their clothes size has decreased from the treatment. (Michele S. Green, MD, New York Dermatologist)
How long before Zeltiq results are noticable?
Results with Zeltiq (CoolScultping) are generally not seen immediately. Since the body naturally expels the fat cells (damaged by the cold during the Zeltiq treatment), results emerge slowly, over the next 4 months. You should begin to noticeably see results about 3-4 weeks after your CoolSculpting procedure.
Then, over the next 12 weeks, you should slowly notice a 20-25% reduction in fatty tissue in your treatment area. I generally recommend that my patients wait 2-3 months, after their initial CoolSculpting treatment, before deciding to do a second procedure.
While the second Zeltiq treatment can result in another 20-25% reduction of fatty tissue, and sculpt the area even farther, a follow-up procedure is not always necessary. (Narin (Joe) Apisarnthanarax, MD, Houston Dermatologist)
Result time for CoolSculpting varies between patients
Many patients don’t start to notice improvement to the treatment areas until 2-3 months after therapy. While it is not unusual to start seeing improvement as soon as 3 weeks, experience has shown that the end result of CoolSculpting takes about 3-4 months.
Everyone is different. (Joshua L. Fox, MD, Long Island Dermatologic Surgeon)
How Long Until the Average Zeltiq Patient Starts to Notice Results?
Most doctors will give you a range of 1-3 months for maximal results. I had the procedure on my love handles and noticed results in 2-3 weeks. (Kurtis Martin, MD, Cincinnati Plastic Surgeon)
When can you see the results from Cool Sculpting
On average you can see them at 2 months. If it is for the lateral thighs after a Cool Smooth treatment it may take 4 months. It is important to have your photos taken before and after for comparison and to have your weight before and after treatment. Cool Sculpting does work! (Robert Whitfield, MD, FACS, Austin Plastic Surgeon)
Zeltiq Results
Clients can see results as early as 4 weeks, but typically it takes 6-8 weeks to start noticing the change. End results can take up to 3-6 months. Be patient, the technology works. (Jeffrey W. Hall, MD, Austin Plastic Surgeon)
How long before one sees result from CoolSculpting?
A minimum of two months is needed to see a difference. Many patients do not see a difference until a full four months after treatment. Pre treatment photos are essential so that your progress can be followed. (Francisco Canales, MD, Santa Rosa Plastic Surgeon)
