How Soon After Having Coolsculpting Would I See Measurable Results?

http://www.benhugo.com/zeltiq.php Could the full results take as long as 4 months to see? Why?

While some people claim to see results in as soon as 3 weeks, it normally takes eight weeks to see measurable results.

Painful Itching After CoolSculpting - Is This Normal?

I did the procedure on my lower and upper abdomen 3 weeks ago. Still painful and itchy, is it common? Please help.

Itching is the symptom experienced by some patients due to the inflammation caused by the fat cells breaking down and being eliminated by the body. It commonly resolves after 2 weeks but can last longer.  You should not have any skin changes or a rash.  If you are concerned you should contact your doctor. There are some treatments that can help with these symptoms if the persist.
