When Can I Expect To See Results Post Coolsculpting?

Coolsculpting results can be seen in as early as 3 weeks and will continue to improve for up to 16 weeks. Most people see a peak in reduction at the 8 week mark (with a continued improvement for up to 16 weeks) but some are early to respond while others are slower in this process. It is impossible to guarantee when measurable results will occur since this process depends on the individuals ability to metabolize and remove cell debris. (Marcia Fleming, MD, Vancouver Physician)

When can you see CoolSculpting Results?

Results can be seen as early as three weeks. The average client starts to notice change around two months and the total process can take up to four months. (Kurtis Martin, MD, Cincinnati Plastic Surgeon)

Measureable results from Coolsculpting

In our practice we see measureable results by 8 weeks and usually explain that those findings represent 80% of the response. Patients may see another 20% reduction in fat over the ensuing 2-3 months. (Steven Hacker, MD, West Palm Beach Dermatologic Surgeon)

Results after CoolSculpting

The earliest you may start to see results after CoolSculpting would be 3-4 weeks, though it takes a full 3-4 months to see the final result. We always recommend at least 2-3 treatments, 1-2 months apart for best results. (Grant Stevens, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)

How soon will results be seen after CoolSculpting

Sometimes results can be seen as early as 4 weeks after your procedure, but full results can take up to 12 weeks. The procedure causes fat cell death and it takes your body some time to dispose of those fat cells gradually.

Multiple treatments can also be required in one area to see a more noticeable result. About 20-25% of fat cells are reduced with one treatment normally. (Steven H. Williams, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)

Some patients see improvement in about 2-3 weeks, but for the best results it may take 2-3 months. We normally recommend to repeat the treatment in 3 months for better fat reduction in the same area.

Coolsculpting is not a weight loss solution and works the best on stubborn fat on stomach or flanks that will not go away with diet and exercise. With each treatment patients lose 25% of the fat permanently, resulting on smoother, firmer and more contoured body. (Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting and Measurable Results

CoolSculpting Is A Safe Medical Treatment

Typically, some patients will start to see results as soon as 3 weeks. With the majority seeing results 4 to 6 weeks post treatment. Full results (approximately 20% of the fat cells in the treated area eliminated) are seen 12 to 18 weeks post treatment. (Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)

While you can start to see results as early as 1 month, it takes 3 months to see full results from a given treatment session. Depending on your goals for the treatment, your physician may recommend returning for additional treatment cycles of the areas previously treated and/or other areas.

For my own coolsculpting treatments, my goal was to be able to give up wearing spanx. I got visible improvement with my first cycles, but still needed the spanx until I repeated them. Now Im happily spanxless! (Heidi A. Waldorf, MD, New York Dermatologist)

CoolSculpting results noticeable after 6-8 weeks

CoolSculpting fat reduction results are seen after a series of treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.

Most patients begin noticing changes after 4-6 weeks, but thebest results are seen after 3-4 months since it takes time for fat cells to die and be flushed out of the body by the lymphatic system. (Mark E. Mason, MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting Results – How long do they take?

The initial results can be seen as early as 2 to 4 weeks and in our experience this does happen, however Coolsculpting works by cooling the fat to a critical temperature that causes the fat cell to die and then it needs to be eliminated by the body through the lymphatic system.

Post-CoolSculpting Treatment

This takes up to 3 or 4 months, so the final result of the Coolsculpting process will not be seen for at least 3 and possibly 4 months in some cases. It is beneficial to use an RF device (like Venus Legacy) that will heat and manipulate the tissue post Coolsculpting to help assist the body in the process of eliminating the fat more effectively and efficiently.

It also gives a skin tightening effect which is beneficial in getting the best results possible. (Paul Flashner, MD, Boston Physician)

Best results from Coolsculpting take ~3 months

Coolsculpting results take about about 2-4 months. Coolsculpting works by injuring fat cells. The injured fat cells then undergo programmed cell death and are flushed away by the body.

Coolsculpting 1 – 4 months to take see results

Some people will start to see results starting in the first month. The majority notice a change at 2 months with the results plateauing at 3-4 months. I usually ask patients to wait at least 3 months to get a real sense of what the end result may look like.

Also realize that a weight change in either direction can skew results. (Young R. Cho, MD, PhD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)

CoolSculpting Results

CoolSculpting is effective way to reduce stubborn fat. Simply put, cooling panels are applied to targeted areas resulting in fat cell death. After the fat cells die, it takes time for the body to go through the natural process of finding and eliminating these dead cells.

Typically, patients start to see results in as little as 4 weeks and can expect to see final results at about 3 months. Every patient is different, but based on the clinical trials, that is the average time frame.

Occasionally, multiple treatments (cycles) are needed for the same area, to achieve an optimal outcome. Following up with your provider will give you the best information in respect to your anticipated results. (Umang Mehta, MD, Bay Area Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting is designed to treat fat cells by bringing them to a therapeutic temperature for an appropriate amount of time. Once the fat cells have been treated, they gradually shrink and are eliminated from the body.

Patients start to see results as early as 4-5 weeks, with maximum results at 4 months. This process takes a while since the body naturally metabolizes the fat cells. (Thomas E. Kaniff, MD, FACS, Sacramento Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Cool sculpting technology causes adipose cell death and a secondary inflammatory response to eliminate these cells. This process takes several weeks; I have seen early responses as early as 3 weeks after the procedure. Patients should wait 3 months to see the final effects. (Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)

Best results for Coolsculpting in 3-4 months
