When Do Coolsculpting Results Show?
How Long Unitl CoolSculpting Results Show?
CoolSculpting patients can begin to see results after 3 weeks with the most dramatic results between 1-3 months. Some patients have even noticed results up to one week after treatment. We ask patients to schedule an appointment 1 month after their treatment so we can take pictures and analyze and assess their progress. At this point, the provider will assess the patient and determine whether or not the patient needs additional sessions or is interested in other areas to be treated (Mark Pinsky, MD, Palm Beach Gardens Plastic Surgeon)
How Long Until the Average Zeltiq Patient Starts to Notice Results?
On average patients start seeing results around 4-5 weeks. It does take 3-4 months for full results. If you maintain your weight you should start seeing results soon. Keep in mind each treatment is killing around 22% of the fat so a second treatment may be necessary. (Brian C. Reuben, MD, Salt Lake City Plastic Surgeon)
Timing of results with CoolSculpting
It can take up to 3 months to see significant results after CoolSculpting. I have found that many of my patients begin to see a change at 4 to 6 weeks which continues to improve up to 3 months post treatment.
Some patients who want liposuction like results won’t wait the full 3 months and retreat the original area after 4 to 6 weeks for a boost. (Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD, Manhattan Facial Plastic Surgeon)
You should see your results in around 2-3 months
While many patients report seeing some initial results in one month, many do not see their full results for 2-3 months. I would wait a little longer before evaluating your final results. I suggest you visit with the doctor that performed the procedure at around 2 months to take “after” photos and see if you require additional treatments. (David P. Rapaport, MD, FACS, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting results
I recommend waiting a good 2-3 months to evaluate your results from Coolsculpting. Many patients may find results come sooner if they are doing multiple areas. For example if they are doing a circumferential treatment around the beltline, and repeating the treatment in quick succession (e.g. 2 weeks apart), then they will begin to see results within weeks, but will continue to see improvement until the 2-3 month mark. (Young R. Cho, MD, PhD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
How long does it take to see results from Coolsculpting?
It typically takes 3 months for patients to acheive their final results from Coolsculpting, however some patients are seeing results as early as 4 weeks. (Alan N. Larsen, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Notice Results
Every patient is different when it comes to seeing treatment results. Patients typically will start to see results as quickly as three weeks after their treatment. The most dramatic results are seen after two to three months.
Remember that your body will continue to flush fat cells for up to four to six months after your treatment. Make sure to schedule a follow up with the physician that treated you to address any questions you have or additional treatment options that may be needed. (Anil Rajani, MD, Portland Physician)
When should CoolSculpting results be seen
Usually CoolSculpting results aren’t seen until 3 weeks at the earliest though the vast majority of patients see results around 3-4 months. Don’t be discouraged…some patients do see results at one month but not all. (Mike Majmundar, MD, Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon)
When do Coolsculpting Patients Start to Notice Results?
Patients treated with Coolsculpting start to see results as early as 4-5 weeks, with the maximum results at 4 months. Keep in mind Coolsculpting is non-invasive and provides a 25% improvement in each area treated.
Typically a follow up appointment would be scheduled 8-10 weeks after the treatment to review results with your provider. At that time, your provider may re-assess the areas to determine if additional cycles would be necessary.(Thomas E. Kaniff, MD, FACS, Sacramento Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Zeltiq CoolSculpting Shows Results After 2 to 3 Months
Because CoolSculpting freezes and kills fat cells, which must then be eliminated by the body, it can take up to 8 weeks before results are visible, with peak effect at 12 weeks. Some patients, however, may notice a difference even within the first few weeks.
Each session removes about 20 to 25% of the fat in a treated area. Therefore, many patients benefit from multiple sessions.
Consult with a board-certified dermatologist to find out how CoolSculpting can get rid of stubborn fat permanently. (Sabrina Fabi, MD, San Diego Dermatologic Surgeon)
When Are CoolSculpting Results Noticeable
Results can vary from person to person. While some patients may start seeing results as soon as 3 weeks post treatment, some may not see results until 3 months. It takes time for your body to dispose of the fat cells post treatment, so give it 3 months.
The process can be slow and subtle, so the difference may not be noticeable initially. Contact your physician if you do not see any results after 3 months, but normally a comparison of before and after photos after 3 months should show an improvement. (Steven H. Williams, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting results vary
Results from CoolSculpting will vary from patient to patient; some people see results fairly quickly, while others may take longer.
Full results from CoolSculpting generally are seen after 3-4 months.
It’s also important to note that on average, patients see around a 20-30% reduction in the targeted fat; multiple treatments may be required to achieve a patient’s desired goal. (William Groff, DO, San Diego Dermatologist)
When should you notice results
Most of our patients start to notice results 4 weeks after the treatment. Optimal results are usually achieved after 3 months.
I do tell thinner patients that Coolsculpting will reduce the fat layer by 20%-30% on average.
So 20% of a little bit is still a little bit. In my experience thinner patients will see more of a subtle results while larger patients may see a more noticeable result from the treatment because they have more fat to loose. (Lee B. Daniel, MD, Eugene Plastic Surgeon)
How long does it take to see results after CoolSculpting?
Initial results start to appear about 3 weeks after treatment with CoolSculpting, but your final results are 3-4 months after the last treatment. (Carmen Kavali, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
