Does CoolSculpting Last?
Before clients commit to a fat-freezing treatment, they want to know, “Does CoolSculpting last?” Considering that CoolSculpting cost requires considerable investment for some people, it is understandable why so many prospective clients want to learn more about the results and if they last. Honestly, no one wants to spend tons of money on reducing fat cells if there is a chance the treatment won’t be effective even months down the road. So read on to learn more about CoolSculpting and how it provides long-term results.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
Before answering the question “Does CoolSculpting last,” it is helpful to know how CoolSculpting works for reducing stubborn fat. Unlike simple weight loss treatments that only shrink cells (preserving their potential to expand again if the person gains the weight back,) CoolSculpting destroys fat cells. This treatment eliminates fat cells from the body entirely.
Do Fat Cells Grow Back After CoolSculpting?
Once people reach adulthood, the body does not create more fat cells. If you gain weight, the body stores the fat in existing fat cells, which expand to accommodate additional fat. With fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting or Liposuction, fat cells are entirely removed from the body. Since the body does not create more fat cells, the fat cells removed cannot grow back. Once those fat cells naturally process out of the body as waste, they are gone for good. Prospective CoolSculpting clients can commit to treatments freely, knowing their results will last.

How Long Does CoolSculpting Last?
Studies prove that CoolSculpting lasts. In 2016, the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology published “Long‐term efficacy follow‐up on two cryolipolysis case studies: 6 and 9 years post‐treatment.” The longitudinal study followed CoolSculpting patients who received a single treatment, to their left flank (love handle) 9 years earlier. The right flank was left untreated, providing a control for “fluctuations in
weight.” The researchers also report “despite weight changes over the years, the treated left flank showed a persistent reduction in size and a change in contour.” They concluded, “Local reductions in flank fat have significant longevity in these subjects and suggest that results from Cryolipolysis may be very long‐lasting.”
So, does CoolSculpting last? Scientific finding shows that fat freezing results can last indefinitely.
How to Maintain CoolSculpting Results
Fat cells do not grow back after CoolSculpting treatments. However, existing fat cells in the area can still expand if you gain a significant amount of weight after the fat freezing procedure, obscuring your results. The best way to preserve your fat reduction is to maintain an active lifestyle and follow a healthy diet.
