CoolSculpting

Some pain and discomfort at treated areas after CoolSculpting is common and can last up to 2 weeks. Usually, the pain can be controlled with over the counter pain medication. Rarely, your doctor may have to prescribe some medication if the pain is more severe. Most people also experience numbness and itching. Applicator options vary and your provider selects the one suited to your treatment area, and larger applicators can sometimes cause more discomfort post-treatment than smaller ones. A strict diet is not required, but it would be a good idea to be conscious of your diet since you are making an investment. The fat cells that were destroyed during the treatment will slowly get processed out of your body and you should start seeing results in 1-4 months. In rare cases, a firm enlargement of the treated area called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia can develop and may need surgical correction, so any unusual firmness or growth should be reported. You should always contact the provider that treated you if symptoms worsen or persist.
