Summary

CoolSculpting is a powerful non-surgical treatment for reducing stubborn fat, but the results depend on what happens after the procedure. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Edmonton, we help patients not only achieve their goals but maintain them. Recovery is typically smooth, with little downtime, but there are key habits that support healing and long-term success. From hydration and compression to diet and movement, this blog outlines what to do during recovery and how to maintain your CoolSculpting results for years to come. If you’re in Edmonton or South Edmonton and want to make the most of your fat reduction treatment, contact Rejuvenation Dermatology for a personalized aftercare and maintenance plan.

Aftercare Is Key to Long-Term Results

CoolSculpting works by freezing and eliminating fat cells, which your body clears out naturally over time. While the procedure itself requires little recovery, what you do afterward can affect how your body responds and how long your results last.

Most side effects; such as swelling, numbness, or mild tenderness are temporary. Supporting your body during this stage helps with both comfort and outcome. With the right post-treatment habits and long-term lifestyle, many patients enjoy visible results for years. 

What to Do Right After Your Session

In the first few days following your CoolSculpting treatment, focus on light movement and hydration to support circulation. Here’s how to care for your body in the short term:

  • Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps your body flush out fat cells efficiently.
  • Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight fabrics that could irritate the treated area.
  • Follow your provider’s instructions: We may recommend compression garments for certain areas.
  • Avoid intense workouts: Gentle activity is fine, but let soreness subside before resuming heavy exercise.
  • Massage the area if advised: Gentle massage can help reduce post-treatment firmness.

Rejuvenation Dermatology provides detailed aftercare guidance at each appointment so you know exactly what to expect.

How to Maintain Your CoolSculpting Results

CoolSculpting eliminates treated fat cells permanently, but remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. Maintaining your results means staying consistent with healthy habits:

  • Eat a balanced diet
    Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats to avoid weight fluctuations.
  • Exercise regularly:
    Even moderate activity supports long-term fat reduction and overall health.
  • Manage stress:
    High stress can lead to hormonal changes that affect fat storage.
  • Sleep well:
    Rest supports recovery and metabolism.
  • Avoid crash dieting:
    Rapid weight loss and gain can undermine your body’s balance.

We work with you to set realistic expectations and build a plan that supports your long-term goals.

When to Schedule Follow-Ups or Touch-Ups

Results can take up to 12 weeks to fully appear. At that point, we recommend a follow-up consultation to evaluate your progress. Some patients opt for:

  • Touch-up sessions to refine certain areas
  • Additional treatments for new zones
  • Yearly check-ins to stay on track

CoolSculpting is a flexible tool that can evolve with your goals. Whether you’re maintaining a single session or building a full-body contouring plan, we’re here to support you.
