Coolsculpting Applicator Size for Abs?
I have heard of greater discomfort using the larger applicator. I don't have big bulges on lower or upper abs, so could I request smaller one? and would that lessen the chances of experiencing post procedure pain?

6cm and 8cm applicators
Coolsculpting offers 2 sizes to the applicators. Certainly, the smaller and fewer applicators you use, the less risk of post treatment discomfort to the areas. That being said, the determination of which size applicator to use is best left to the doctor and the physical exam prior to your procedure. I would discuss your concerns with your doctor and perhaps do only 1-2 treatments on a given day and do the rest of your treatments on a later date. I have found that...
