Things To Know Before Your Virtual Coolsculpting Consultation
- It’s important to do research into CoolSculpting and be aware of the various options available. The procedure involves freezing fat cells and flushing them from your body, so it’s essential to be familiar with the expectations and risks associated before diving in.
- Many cost factors go into a virtual CoolSculpting consultation, such as the area(s) being treated, the duration of treatment time needed, and whether or not multiple treatments are necessary. Make sure you fully understand these prices before going forward.
- Consider your lifestyle prior to booking a consultation – especially when it comes to your diet and exercise habits. While CoolSculpting can help reduce stubborn areas of fat in your body, exercising regularly and following a balanced diet is still an important part of the weight loss journey.
- Think about how long it will take for you to see results from the treatment – usually, patients need 2-3 sessions over 4-6 weeks to experience optimal results from CoolSculpting treatments depending on the area being targeted.
- Discuss more lifestyle tips with your practitioner about how you can maintain your desired benefits beyond that timeline – such as adding exercises that target specific muscles involved in treatment areas or incorporating healthy eating habits into your routine as a means of asset protection during post-treatment care/maintenance visits.
How To Prepare For A Virtual Consultation
Before your virtual CoolSculpting consultation, there are a few things to consider that will help make the session go more smoothly. First and foremost, be sure to prepare your body for the session. You should cleanse and moisturize your skin the night before and exfoliate gently if necessary. Be sure you wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing that fits well. Avoid wearing anything that might interfere with or obstruct the CoolSculpting process, such as jewelry or bulky items like buttons or large pockets.
Second, it’s important to have your questions ready in advance of the consultation so you can get all the information you need during this time-sensitive appointment. During the consultation, make sure you have reliable internet access, quiet space without interruptions from other people or pets, and good lighting so that your provider can accurately evaluate the area you will get treated. Confirm in advance with your provider which option is best for managing payment – either in-office or remotely – so everything goes as smoothly as possible with no surprises.
Virtual Consultations Are Intended To Be Educational But Are Not A Substitute For A Medical Opinion.
Virtual CoolSculpting visits are a great solution for learning more information about the procedure. We want all of our patients to be informed and comfortable before making a decision about CoolSculpting.
That said, we also want to make clear that virtual visits are not intended to provide medical advice. Virtual visits may provide general information about procedures and techniques but do not address individual needs and circumstances.
Therefore, it is important to note that video consultations are educational in nature, but not a substitute for a medical opinion from an experienced medical professional who can physically assess your unique situation. Consulting with an experienced physician or provider is required before undergoing any sort of clinical procedure like CoolSculpting.
It’s advised that those wanting to pursue this option consult with an experienced licensed medical professional and ask any questions they have before moving forward with the procedure.
Prepare For A Diy Assessment.
At your virtual CoolSculpting consultation, it’s important to have the right tools for an accurate assessment of your body. That’s why it is important that you have the necessary tools for your DIY assessment.
First, you’ll need certain articles of clothing. This includes a short-sleeved shirt, shorts or breeches that cover at least six inches of your stomach and thighs, and socks that cover at least half of your calf muscle. Additionally, you should also have a fitted bralette or crop top that can stretch over the abdomen and back area of the body when lying down flat on the bed.
Second, you will be required to take some digital photos before your consultation. These images must be clean of any heavy lighting or shadows and should include all angles surrounding the treatment area outlined by your practitioner. You will also need a camera phone or selfie stick to use during the treatment session so you can accurately identify which parts are being treated without looking in the mirror every few minutes!
Overall, having the right tools for a DIY assessment is incredibly important during your virtual CoolSculpting consultation. The clothes you wear, digital photos taken beforehand, and flexible camera setup are all essential resources that allow us to compare our results to those from previous treatments and determine if more sessions are necessary for optimal sculpting outcomes!
Prepare And Upload A Photo Of The Area You Wish To Sculpt.
It’s extremely helpful to upload a photo of the area you’re most excited to sculpt before your virtual CoolSculpting consultation. Doing so allows the physician to assess your areas of concern and better explain your treatment expectations along with any associated risks.
Having a photo means that you can get an accurate account from the doctor on how many sessions and what type of results you can expect. It also eliminates any guesswork during the consultation and makes it easier for both you and the doctor to understand what needs to be done.
Additionally, having a photograph allows you to show off your target area before CoolSculpting begins. This can help foster an understanding between yourself and the doctor as well as an agreement on what you are looking to achieve with CoolSculpting.
Bringing in pictures makes it much easier for a physician or specialist to properly assess your condition and determine if CoolSculpting is right for you!
