CoolSculpting on arms - severe discomfort. Are there any ways to mitigate the numbness?

Asked By:ladyM918 in East Tulare County, CA

I had great results with CoolSculpting on my stomach and back, so decided to have it done on my arms (triceps). My hand felt so numb during the treatment that I had to stop. I would like to try again. Are there any ways to mitigate the numbness?
