Is pain after removal of CoolSculpting applicator normal?

June 18, 2017
Asked By:bobbabrat in Atlantic City, NJ

When I got coolscultping, there wasn't much pain when the applicator was put on, or after the treatment was all done. However, right after the applicator would get removed and the technician would masaage the area, it would hurt really bad, especially for up to 2-3 mins after the massage was over. I was told it was due to the area "heating up" again. Am I the only one who finds this pain extreme?
