CoolSculpting® Elite is a game-changer for tackling stubborn fat, but is it permanent? The answer is yes—with a catch. Once the treated fat cells are eliminated, they’re gone for good. But weight fluctuations can still affect your overall shape. At Pure Medspa, we want to make sure you get the most out of your investment. Here’s how you can maintain and even enhance your CoolSculpting results in the long term.
1. Keep Your Weight Stable
CoolSculpting reduces fat cells in the treated area but doesn’t prevent weight gain. If you gain weight after your treatment, the remaining fat cells in your body can still expand, potentially affecting your results. By keeping your weight steady, you help preserve your CoolSculpting results and maintain a sculpted appearance.
2. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water supports your body’s natural process of eliminating fat and helps maintain skin elasticity. Proper hydration can also aid digestion and reduce bloating, keeping your results looking their best. Aim for at least 64 ounces (8 glasses) per day as a baseline—more if you’re active, in a hot climate, or prone to dehydration.
3. Eat to Support Fat Loss
A well-balanced diet plays a crucial role in maintaining your CoolSculpting results. Instead of crash dieting, aim for sustainable habits such as:
- Prioritizing whole foods like lean proteins, veggies, and whole grains.
- Limiting processed foods that contribute to inflammation and weight gain.
- Avoiding excessive sugar and alcohol, which can lead to fat accumulation in common trouble spots.
Making smart food choices consistently will help you stay lean and prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding.
4. Prioritize Strength Training
While CoolSculpting removes fat, it doesn’t tone muscles. Strength training helps you maintain a sculpted look while boosting metabolism, as muscle burns more calories at rest than fat. This supports long-term weight stability and prevents future fat accumulation.
You don’t need heavy lifting to see results—bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, and functional movements all build lean muscle. Focus on full-body workouts to maximize calorie burn and keep your metabolism elevated.
5. Consider Follow-Up Treatments
Some patients opt for additional CoolSculpting sessions to fine-tune results, especially for particularly stubborn trouble spots.
For even more dramatic body contouring, EMSCULPT NEO® pairs perfectly with CoolSculpting, helping to build muscle, burn additional fat, and enhance definition in areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs. This powerful combination not only sculpts and tones but also boosts metabolism for long-term results.

A consultation with one of our skilled, experienced providers can help determine the best approach to achieve your goals.
6. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle for the Long Run
Ultimately, the best way to keep your CoolSculpting results looking great is to adopt a lifestyle that supports them. Think of CoolSculpting as a jumpstart, not a shortcut. When paired with smart choices, it can help you achieve and maintain the sculpted look you’ve worked hard for.
