Summer is right around the corner in Houston. This means sleeveless shirts, shorts, and swimwear to stay cool in the Texas heat. Make what is left of spring count by getting summer-ready with CoolSculpting. The treatment is fast and effective – so what is keeping you from trying CoolSculpting? If it’s the fear of recovery and downtime, worry no more. Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique breakdown everything you need to know about CoolSculpting downtime and how long you will have to wait to see your magical results.
CoolSculpting Requires Minimal Downtime
The most important thing to remember about CoolSculpting’s downtime is that there isn’t any. Liposuction and surgical procedures will keep you at home healing, and away from life, for days if not weeks. CoolSculpting involves no anesthesia, no incisions, and no sutures. This means you are back to your normal routine as soon as your treatment session has ended. Get CoolSculpting during your lunch break and you will be back at work in less than an hour.
Stay Busy During Your CoolSculpting Treatment
Not only does CoolSculpting let you return to your normal activities right away, you can even stay busy during treatment, as well. CoolSculpting is a an excellent procedure. You can read, watch Netflix, chat on the phone, or do paperwork during your 35-minute session. But why do that? CoolSculpting is performed in a private, spa-like room, so use the peaceful moment for a power nap while you lose the fat!
Few Side-Effects After CoolSculpting
While there is no need to take time from work to recover from your CoolSculpting procedure, keep in mind there may be a few, mild side-effects. The treatment area may tingle, burn, or itch for a few days. This site may be firm, red, or bruised. However, most of the CoolSculpting side-effects quickly resolve and should have no impact on your daily life.
Be Patient While Waiting for Your Results
CoolSculpting is a unique way to get rid of unwanted fatty tissue. Using cold temperatures to freeze fat with incisions, your body must do the work of eliminating the damaged, no longer functioning cells. This process is simple and safe, however, will take several months. You can expect to see the first signs of improvement in four to six weeks, but the real benefits of treatment will take three to four months.
Minimize Side-Effects and Maximize Results While You Wait
CoolSculpting is the perfect combination of significant results and minimal inconvenience. Talk to your doctor about reducing side-effects by massaging the treatment area. This can help break down fat, promote healthy blood flow, and enhance lymphatic drainage to minimize swelling. Exercise can be resumed right away, so stick with a healthy diet and regular workouts to get the very best CoolSculpting results.
Remember, everyone is different, so the CoolSculpting experience can be different for each person. CoolSculpting can be used to fight fat in a variety of locations, including the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, and under the chin. Some patients are happy with the 20-25% reduction of fat that one treatment achieves, while someone else may want a second treatment for even more fat reduction.
