CoolSculpting
Can I Use a Compression Garment After Zeltiq?
You may definitely wear a compression garment after CoolSculpting, although it is not necessary. It can help with comfort and relieving some of the side effects from the treatment such as swelling and tenderness. While it may not greatly change the overall outcome of your final result, it will not harm it.
Clinical Context
CoolSculpting works by breaking down fat cells, which your body clears gradually over the following weeks—compression doesn't speed this up or change your results. Some people find a snug garment comforting during the swelling and tenderness that follow treatment, while others prefer looser clothing over sensitive skin. Either choice is fine; use of a compression garment is about your comfort in the first week or two, not about how well the treatment works.
