=How long does it take to work?=
The effects of CoolSculpting should start within a few weeks, but the full effect may take 3-4 months<ref name="Zelickson-2009"/>. Tests indicate that the changes are noticeable after 2-7 weeks (average 4 weeks)<ref name="Shek-2012"/>.
=CoolSculpting and Long Term Weight Loss=
There is evidence that long-term weight loss is it difficult to maintain, with many people regaining their lost weight over time<ref name="Anderson-2001"/><ref name="Weiss-2007"/>. There is growing evidence that weight loss changes the bodies weight regulation, creating a drive to regain the lost body fat<ref name="MacLeanBergouignan2011"/>. One study found that the greatest body weight previously recorded is a linked to weight regain<ref name="ByrneCooper2004"/>, and it's known that obesity can result in an increased number of fat cells (adipose hyperplasia))<ref name="ArnerWestermark2009"/><ref name="SunKusminski2011"/>. It's possible that the increase in fat cells may be a driver for weight regain<ref name="MacLeanHiggins2015"/>, and there is some evidence that a number of fat cells will determine the weight loss or gain from exercise<ref name="KrotkiewskiMandroukas1979"/>. I wonder if the reduction in the number of fat cells from CoolSculpting might help with long-term weight maintenance. I should emphasize that I've seen absolutely no supporting evidence for this idea, but I hope we will see research to either support or refute the concept.
=CoolSculpting and Massage=
A 2014 study looked at CoolSculpting followed immediately by 2 minutes of massage, and compared the results with CoolSculpting alone<ref name="Boey-2014"/>. Subjects received the CoolSculpting on both sides of their body, but massage only on one side, the other acting as a control. The study found that the addition of massage improved fat reduction by 68% after two months and 44% after four months. Samples of the fat tissue showed increasing inflammation, peaking at 30 days post treatment, with no signs of necrosis or fibrosis at any time (0-120 days). The massage and non-massage groups were similar, but quite small. The massage was described as "1 minute using a vigorous kneading motion followed by 1 minute of circular massage using the pads of the fingers."
