Zeltiq Side Effects?

CoolSculpting Side-Effects
Any numbness if your hand would not be related to your Coolsculpting treatment which you had on your abdomen. Any side-effects from the Coolsculpting would be isolated to the area that was treated. If the numbness in your finger hasn't resolved by this time, you should see your primary care physician for an evaluation. Good luck.

Coolsculpting side effects
There are side effects with Coolsculpting and they are typically minimal compared to the consistently excellent results. The symptoms you describe would not be related typically to any Coolsculpting treatment and thus suggest you follow up with your family doctor for evaluation.
