Remedy for pain during Coolsculpting?

Discomfort during the first 5-10 minutes of
CoolSculpt is caused by pressure from the suction of the applicator. After 5-10
minutes, this discomfort and pressure subsides as the area being
treated becomes numb from the cold. Generally, this pressure is most
uncomfortable when treating the lower abdomen with the larger applicator. In
such circumstances, some patients take ibuprofen 30-60 min before the treatment
to take the edge off. If you are very concerned about this pain, you may
consider taking an anti-anxiety medication an hour before the procedure as
well--just be sure to arrange transportation.

I agree that the topical lidocaine won't help and that Valium or similar anti-anxiety drug would take the edge off.  Just have someone drive you home if you are going to take that medicine during treatment. XO
