How to Get the Best Results from Your CoolSculpting Treatment
– by Kate Hook
CoolSculpting has emerged as a popular and effective non-surgical option for reducing stubborn fat deposits. At The Ottawa Clinic, we specialize in helping patients achieve their body contouring goals using this innovative treatment. To maximize the benefits of your CoolSculpting sessions, it’s essential to focus on both pre-treatment preparation and post-treatment care. Additionally, combining CoolSculpting with other non-surgical procedures offered at our clinic can further enhance your results.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis technology to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. The frozen fat cells are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes, resulting in a slimmer and more sculpted appearance over time. While CoolSculpting is highly effective, achieving the best results requires thoughtful preparation, dedicated aftercare, and a personalized treatment plan.
Pre-Treatment Tips for Optimal CoolSculpting Results
Proper preparation can set the stage for a successful CoolSculpting experience. Here are steps to take before your session:
- Maintain a Stable Weight: CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring treatment. Achieving and maintaining a stable weight before your session ensures more predictable and noticeable results.
- Stay Hydrated: Adequate hydration improves lymphatic drainage, which is crucial for the elimination of frozen fat cells after treatment. Aim to drink plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your session.
- Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen should be avoided a few days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: On the day of your appointment, opt for loose, comfortable clothing to minimize any irritation in the treated areas.
- Communicate Your Goals: During your consultation, discuss your body contouring goals with our team. This helps us design a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Post-Treatment Care for Enhanced Results
After your CoolSculpting session, following these steps can maximize the outcome and help you achieve your desired look:
- Stay Active: Gentle movement, such as walking, helps stimulate lymphatic drainage and supports the body’s natural fat elimination process.
- Continue Hydration: Drinking plenty of water remains essential in the weeks following treatment to aid the removal of fat cells.
- Avoid Tight Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting clothing to prevent discomfort and irritation in the treated areas.
- Be Patient: Results from CoolSculpting typically become noticeable within a few weeks and continue to improve over several months as the body eliminates fat cells. Staying consistent with your healthy lifestyle will enhance and maintain your results.
- Schedule Follow-Up Treatments: Depending on your goals, additional sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal contouring.
Non-Surgical Treatments to Combine with CoolSculpting
For a comprehensive approach to body contouring, combining CoolSculpting with other non-invasive treatments available at The Ottawa Clinic can yield transformative results. Here are some complementary procedures:
1. Thermage® Skin Tightening
How It Works: Thermage® utilizes radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and resulting in tighter, smoother skin. This treatment addresses skin laxity that CoolSculpting alone may not improve.
Benefits: Combining Thermage® with CoolSculpting can enhance body contouring by reducing fat deposits and tightening the overlying skin, leading to a more toned and youthful appearance.
