Side effects from Coolsculpting
What we have seen after Coolsculpting is occasional "hickeys" / slight bruising and redness this last one- two days. You may also experience slight swelling for a day or two. You will be tender to the touch for about 4-7 days and possibly experience some itching for about 24 hours after about a week when the numbness wears off. Hopefully this answers your question!

Zeltiq has few side effects
Zeltiq has few side effects mostly llimited to localized soreness and tenderness for a few days at the treatment site. Some patients also have localized bruising from the pulling of the adaptor on the skin to freeze the fat. All of these side effects are temporary and resolve in approximately a week. The fat freezing where 20 percent of the fat in a given area is gone is permanent!

Side Effects of CoolSculpting
The initial few minutes of the process can be uncomfortable, but people do not require relaxation or pain medication. Within about 5 minutes you’ll lose sensation in the area and will easily be able to talk on the phone, read, use your computer, or watch TV. Some patients nap. Afterwards, a few patients may experience short temporary redness, bruising, or mild discomfort in the treated areas that resolves quickly.

Throughout the treatment, controlled cooling is administered with a non-invasive applicator to an area intentionally targeting fat cells. As the procedure is initiated, vacuum pressure draws tissue into an applicator cup between cooling panels. The vacuum pressure may cause sensations of deep pulling, tugging and pinching in the...
