Whether a woman or a man, we all want to look and feel our best no matter who we are. The CoolSculpting procedure is now recognized as one of the safest and most effective modern technologies for reducing stubborn bulges of fat from the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and other areas that are hiding the beauty of your body.
In comparison with other fat removal methods, CoolSculpting is genuinely revolutionary. In contrast to liposuction, which can take months to recover from, we provide a non-surgical fat removal procedure in Miami, Florida, with no downtime. Using cryolipolysis technology, it can reduce fat deposits by about 20-25%. Cool sculpting before and after shows significant changes in most cases after the treatment. But keeping this new body in shape is more important once you slim down and achieve excellent results from CoolSculpting treatment.
Before discussing what really works to improve your fat sculpting results, let's talk about common misconceptions about improving them.
Massaging the Treated Area
Many websites recommend at-home massages or professional massages to improve your CoolSculpting results. It has been shown in several studies that post-treatment massage improves body sculpting results! We are, however, only referring to post-treatment massage (the massage given by your CoolSculpting clinician immediately after your treatment, while your fat is still cold). The effectiveness of at-home or professional massage to improve CoolSculpting results has yet to be studied.
However, that does not mean that you can't achieve better results by getting a massage at home. There's probably no harm in agitating the dead fat cells. And there's nothing wrong with going to a licensed massage therapist to work out those kinks. Massage benefits the body in many ways, including improving blood circulation. Regardless of the massage technique you use - Swedish, Thai, or lymphatic - there's no convincing evidence that it will improve results. Therefore, if someone claims that their secret massage technique will somehow increase the number of fat cells destroyed by CoolSculpting, that claim tends to be dubious at best.
So, to massage or not? There's no harm in doing it, so if you want to, go ahead. The simple fact that you're doing something can be relaxing - and that's definitely a benefit! Just don't expect tremendous results from it.
Compression Garments
People who have looked into liposuction probably know that compression garments are worn after surgery. This has led many people to assume that they will help with body sculpting. Using compression garments after surgery can reduce swelling, bruising, and excess skin. As a result, many websites recommend them for CoolSculpting treatment as well. So far, compression garments haven't been shown to improve the CoolSculpting results.
In general, compression garments aren't needed for CooSculpting because the things compression garments are supposed to help with - swelling, bruising, and skin retraction - all relate to lipo surgery and are not helpful for CoolSculpting. It is unlikely that compression garments will make fat cells freeze or eliminate dead fat cells faster. There may be some swelling with CoolSculpting, but it is a short-term problem that won't affect your final results.
So, can you wear compression garments? Absolutely. No harm will come of it. The results will be about the same as wearing shapewear - they won't last.
Manage Your Expectations
The hardest part of CoolSculpting is that you don't see results immediately. Our clients in Miami, Florida, usually start noticing results within a few weeks, while others are late bloomers. In fact, CoolSculpting reviews are full of people who have seen relatively late results. Several clients have reported seeing results just weeks before their follow-up appointment. Do not treat an area again until you have waited the full 120 days (until your next follow-up appointment). There can be too much fat sculpting, and if you treat again while your body is removing fat cells, you may end up with a more extreme result than you intended.
Keep a Healthy Diet
When you eat right, you'll see the best results from CoolSculpting. Putting on weight after body sculpting is a surefire way to ensure those results won't be visible. This comes mainly from a poor diet. If you're eating poorly, even if you haven't put on weight, those CoolSculpting results will be less noticeable. You will see less difference if you are retaining water, feeling bloated, sleeping poorly, or gaining weight. Low-carb diets are especially effective at relieving bloating.
Additionally, reducing your sodium intake can help reduce water retention. And reducing or avoiding caffeine and alcohol is good for your skin. It reduces puffy or baggy eyes and improves sleep quality (which is good for just about everything).
Although none of these things will improve the effectiveness of CoolSculpting, they will prevent your results from being hidden by a poor diet - and improve your overall shape, as well.
Exercise Regularly
CoolSculpting gets rid of fat in targeted areas, but the only way to get ripped abs, shapely thighs, and a perky butt is through exercise. Again, exercise will not improve the results of body sculpting. In other words, it will compliment your results, improving your overall physique. The way to look at this is that while body sculpting removes curves you don't want, exercise shows off the curves you do want. When we talk about curves or six-pack abs, we mean weight training. When it comes to body sculpting, weight training and aerobic exercise both have their limitations. You should not be afraid to build a little muscle - it is the foundation of a shaped figure. Exercise relieves stress as well. Stress raises your cortisol levels and can cause fat gain in the abdomen area. So be sure to exercise regularly to prevent your stomach CoolSculpting from being filled in by stress.
Besides that initial post-treatment massage, nothing will improve CoolSculpting results. It is best to complement your results with other methods, such as diet and exercise.
