10 Ideas For Boosting The Results Of CoolSculpting®

Patients who have had a fat-freezing procedure might be interested in learning what they can do to get even better results from CoolSculpting®. Arizona’s Ironwood Dermatology team explains that CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that can help you achieve a slimmer and more toned physique.

Certified laser technician Caitlyn Villa explains: “Although it is not a weight loss procedure, CoolSculpting® can reduce resistant fat from certain areas to improve your body shape and allow clothes to fit better. It uses controlled cooling to target fat cells directly beneath the skin as a way of reducing bulk that is resistant to traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise.”

While the treatment itself is highly effective, there are several other strategies you can employ to boost the results and make your body look even better. Here are 10 ways to enhance and emphasize the slimming results of CoolSculpting®.

1. Combine CoolSculpting® with a Healthy Diet

While CoolSculpting® can eliminate stubborn fat, it is important to combine the treatment with a healthy diet to maximize the results. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can help you achieve a slimmer and more toned physique.

2. Exercise Regularly 

Regular exercise is important for toning the muscles and achieving a more sculpted look. Incorporate strength training exercises to build lean muscle mass and cardio exercises to help burn calories.

3. Stay Hydrated 

Drinking plenty of water is important for flushing out toxins and keeping the body hydrated. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.

4. Rest Well 

Getting enough sleep is important for overall health and can help reduce stress levels—which is good, since stress can have a negative impact on both weight and body shape.

5. Try a Fake Tan

It is well-known that tanned skin instantly gives you a slimmer, more contoured appearance all over, but tanning via sun exposure can be harmful to your health, so experts recommend self-tanning creams or lotions to give you that bronzed appearance without having to bake in the sun. Not to mention, these products can help to keep your skin nourished and give it a glowing appearance. 

6. Wear Compression Garments 

Compression garments typically aren’t necessary after CoolSculpting®, but they can help to minimize swelling and inflammation after the procedure. They can also help to support the skin and tissues as they heal.

7. Avoid Tobacco and Drinking

Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can have a negative impact on the body's ability to heal and can interfere with the results of CoolSculpting®.

8. Manage Stress

Stress can have a negative impact on weight and body shape, so it is important to find ways to manage it. This can include practices like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise.

9. Schedule Multiple Treatments

Although many patients are pleased with the results they get from one session, most patient will see optimal results with multiple treatments. The fat cells that are removed after a treatment will not return, but you might still gain weight in the future and fat could return to other areas. To maintain or improve the results of CoolSculpting®, it may be necessary to schedule additional treatments. Your provider can advise you on the best schedule for your individual needs.

10. Dress to Look Slimmer 

Another way of instantly making yourself look even slimmer when you are having fat reduction treatments is by knowing how to dress to give yourself a thinner, sleeker appearance. Dressing in appropriately fitting clothing will immediately make you feel more comfortable and confident. Accessorize with jewellery such as long necklaces and drop earrings. 

By combining CoolSculpting® with healthy lifestyle habits and other body sculpting techniques, you can enhance the results of the treatment and achieve the body you desire. Follow these tips to boost CoolSculpting® slimming results and make your body shape look even better.
