I recently did coolsculpting on my lower abs with the advantage machine.. i felt ZERO pain.. no pain from suction or from the massage.. i did get swollen and a little soar after. It hs been two weeks now and id say the pain maybbee reached a 2 but only from the soarness. My stomach does feel numb though This may sound silly but to me pain means something is happening. Should i be concerned that it wont work well for me because of my lack of feeling anything? Is it normal to feel no pain?

Answer: No pain ... No Gain We all know the saying "no pain no gain". However does that apply to non-invasive fat reduction techniques? The question is not did the treatment work. The question is Will my results meet my expectations. Many times non invasive techniques are appropriately selected by the provider for the patient based on their body habitus and their desires for ultimate goals. However sometimes there can be greater incentives for nonsurgical treatments due to the decrease costs and ease-of-use that may influence the selection of Treatment, which may not take into consideration of all facets of treatment options. Over the past few years of treating patients with coolsculpting I have noted a wide variety of reactions and sensations from the treatments. Some patients have a pulling or burning sensation during the treatment and others have felt little to no discomfort at all. Certainly the massage is an important part of the post procedure algorithm and thus, massage can also be uncomfortable. Check back with your provider for a follow up and talk openly and honestly with them about your goals and desires. Look closely at your pre-and post procedure photos. More often than not patients need several treatments to achieve their desired results.

Answer: Coolsculpting Everyone's pain response is different. If you have some numbness that means you have swelling. It takes time for the fat cells to dissipate. It may take 2-3 months to see your final results.
