CoolSculpting® is an innovative, non-invasive procedure that can help you get rid of stubborn fat using cryo-technology. While there are very few side effects or complications associated with this treatment, there are a few steps you can take to ensure a fast and efficient recovery period.

What Steps Should I Take After CoolSculpting?

1. Stay Active

Some soreness and swelling are common after Coolsculpting. Staying active combats both effects. Gentle exercise such as walking, practicing yoga, or stretching can rejuvenate your body by increasing blood flow to the sore areas. Once the swelling and soreness have subsided, return to your fitness regimen to maintain the results of the procedure.

2. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Tight or restrictive clothing sometimes exacerbates painful effects. To avoid this, wear comfortable clothing until some of the pain and swelling subsides. Yoga pants and loose-fitting T-shirts are great during the healing period. Side effects usually resolve within a few weeks, at which time you can go back to wearing your regular attire.

3. Contact Your Doctor If Side Effects Worsen

While minor side effects are normal, severe pain and discomfort are not. If you experience side effects that seem to be out of the ordinary, contact your doctor right away. Additionally, schedule an appointment with your doctor if discomfort seems to last longer than it should. In general, it takes a few months for you to see optimum results. However, ill effects should only last a few weeks, and anything longer should be assessed by your physician.
