How Long Does Coolsculpting Last?

Here’s one of the big questions when you’re looking for Coolsculpting services. It’s about the eventual results. A lot of patients would ask “will Coolsculpting work?” or “how well will Coolsculpting work?” but others might ask a different question: “how long will Coolsculpting last?”

The answer to this question varies from one patient to another. A doctor can’t really tell you how well Coolsculpting will work or how long it will last until it’s done. Every patient is different, and has different reactions to the process.

Here’s one thing doctors can tell you. there are certain medical facts around Coolsculpting. There are trends that can help you to protect how long you can expect existing results to stay in place. For example, some patients report that their Coolsculpting results didn’t last more than a few years. Others mention 10 to 15 years, and others report relatively permanent results.

How Coolsculpting Works

Qualified medical professionals point out that Coolsculpting works by freezing fat cells in the body. These cells ‘die a natural death.’ That’s why some skilled doctors say that Coolsculpting doesn’t raise risks for cancer or other diseases. Scientists believe that the cryogenic type of procedure is not hostile to the body. It works to eradicate fat cells that are specifically targeted.

Now, with that in mind, some doctors mention that existing fat cells can get larger due to various factors. There’s also a common-sense answer to this question. How long will Coolsculpting last for a patient?

Here’s what many doctors will tell you. Coolsculpting or any cosmetics or plastic surgery procedure can last a while. That is, if you combine it with good diet and exercise.

Without good diet and exercise, it’s like this. The body will keep producing excessive fat cells, and tissue will increase in size. That’s true with or without Coolsculpting or any number of procedures that are meant to slim or re-contour the body.

Don’t see actual results with Coolsculpting? How long the results will last depends on several things. One of them is whether or not you’ll be able to maintain good habits. Your caloric intake and fitness goals will help the body to keep that fat off.

The same is true for any weight loss or slimming technology or treatment. Changing the body’s tissue or cell structure will work immediately. It will change a person’s current physical makeup. But good diet and exercise will contribute to a trend over time. The body is more able to shape itself differently. That’s why it’s so important to understand the context of these treatments. Ask about the results before getting Coolsculpting done.

Interested in going with a Coolsculpting procedure or any other slimming or re-contouring procedure? Talk to a professional doctor about the benefits and risks. Talk about cost. Talk about the context, and how you support results in the future. Good pre-surgical consultation is key to getting the results that you need out of the cosmetic procedures that you pay for and feeling good about this type of elective surgery. Talk to Dr. Timothy Fee and his staff about great results with Coolsculpting.
