No matter how thin I am, I could never get rid of my 'saddlebags', so I decided to try Cool Sculpting. My procedure was yesterday and I have no results to report yet. The pain is minimal with some swelling and bruising, but nothing I can't handle. I'm anxious to see my results! About 10 minutes after the machine was taken off, I had a horrible burning pain that went away in about 15 minutes. Updated on 4 Sep 2014: Day 8 - The 'zinger' pains are almost gone, but I still have numbness in the areas (which is better than pain!). Still a little swollen in the flank area and the bruising is fading now. I will keep you posted! Updated on 6 Sep 2014: I had my right side outer thighs & flanks done today and it didn't seem to be as bad as the left side. Just swollen & bruised for now. The worst part is the massage afterwards!
