So I gained my pandemic 10 lbs and did not have the will to change my diet immediately. I am using cool sculpting as a jump start to give me the incentive to work out and eat healthily again.
I am doing cool sculpting for love handles and abs. The actual freezing process is 35mins contact time where the temp reduces to -11 Celsius. A lot of gel goes into the applications of the pads. The machine will suction your fat area in and then you begin. In the first 5 mins you get used to the feeling of very cold tingly and then numbness.
After that time it didn’t hurt as I was numb. I read a magazine, texted and played iPhone games. The part that hurt was the machine suction removal. The suction is peeled away and I felt an immediate burning like a frostbite. The area was also red but It went away quickly. A 2 min massage by the tech must be done right after to accelerate the fat loss. I was very red for about an hour after but the redness has gone away as of the next day. I do feel very numb and at times itching on the areas that were treated. Assuming I’m thawing from the inside out, the nerve numbness will eventually lead to tingling as the sensations return. I took some Benadryl for this itching. It both feels relieving and quite tender. A hood hurt? Lol. Anyway I’m looking forward to results. The next treatment is in 6 weeks. After two treatments I should be done.
