What should I do to prepare for a CoolSculpting treatment?

The first thing you should do to prepare for a CoolSculpting treatment is to discuss your fat reduction goals with your provider, such as the problem area you wish to treat. These may include the back, arms, thighs or abdominal area. Be sure to mention any injuries, previous medical treatment or medications you are taking to avoid treatment complications.

Once you are ready for treatment, your provider will place a specially designed bottle with a skin cooling gel over the affected area. This gel provides a soft, smooth surface between the skin and the applicator. After applying the gel, the provider will then place the applicator on the skin. The applicator will emit cold waves to freeze and destroy the fat cells under the skin.

During the treatment, you will feel a cold sensation on the skin, followed by gradual relief as the temperature decreases. The treatment lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, but this depends on the affected area and your treatment goals.

After CoolSculpting treatment, you should take care of your treated areas and exercise and physical exertion with caution. You should avoid using topical retinol creams and excessive sun exposure until results are visible. Your provider can recommend products to help reduce the side effects of treatment.

For best results after CoolSculpting treatment, it is also important to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. These changes can help maintain long-lasting treatment results. If you follow these tips, you are likely to have significant results for years after treatment.
