We at drs skincare understand that you want to see a more toned, less flabby “you” in the mirror. As with all treatments delivered by Dr. Rahul Shukla from our Hamilton, Ontario office, it is essential to have realistic expectations about treatment. Yes, CoolSculpting® quickly trims stubborn fat pockets, and it does so in a non-invasive and gentle manner. However, it also relies on a process.
To destroy fat cells, CoolSculpting® technology initiates cryolipolysis, whereby fat cells are selectively targeted, cooled (crystallized), destroyed, and eventually processed and removed from the body. For patients asking, “How can I speed up my results?” the wait will be over before you know it.
Patients typically see optimal and complete results from CoolSculpting® treatment within three weeks to three months. Factors influencing the “wait time” include the area to be treated and how your unique body/physiology responds to treatment.
Before and After Care
As with all services at our office, there are steps you can take to support predictable, favourable, and lasting results. The following tips will support your overall health and well-being:
- Follow any instructions for pre- and post-care provided by your doctor
- Massage treatment sites as directed each day, which can help to bring blood flow to those areas and may expedite the removal of fat cells
- Hydrate well before treatment and in the weeks following
- Consult with us if you notice persistent redness, swelling, bruises, cramps, itching, and numbness
- Return to activities and exercise as directed because staying active will help to stimulate the process of excreting fat cells by boosting blood flow and sweat
- Be mindful of consuming foods that support fast and ideal results, such as low-fat proteins
Generally, once fat is destroyed at the treatment site, it is gone for good. However, CoolSculpting® is not a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle, nor should it be viewed as a weight loss method. Ideal candidates are primarily at or close to a healthy weight range.
