Painful Itching After CoolSculpting - Is This Normal?

This maybe simply due to irritation of the sensory nerves.  The first step is to use anti-inflaamatories and over counter tylenol.  Other medications like Lyrica maybe necessary.Body
reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or
with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula
inserted into your body. All treatments
are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes
the fat. Don’t hesitate to give us a
call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I
recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by
affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the
technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process.

Itching is one of the possible side effects after the Coolsculpting. It normally lasts for 3-4 days but in rare cases it may take 2 weeks before it gets better. Other common side effects include mild bruising, cramping, needles and pins sensation under the skin or tingling. You can take Motrin or Ibuprofen and if your symptoms last for more than 2 weeks you should contact your doctor for an evaluation.

Typically, there is minimal to no downtime after CoolSculpting though patients may experience temporary pain or discomfort. Side effects can include redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness to the touch, cramping, itching, tingling, and numbness. Itching is a normal side effect, and should subside in time. Best of luck.
