Remedy for pain during Coolsculpting?

marithon
I've had Coolsculpting done on several areas but found the procedure itself extremely painful for the abdomen area until the area went numb after about 5 minutes. I'm considering repeating the abdomen and want to know if there is anything I can do to take the edge off of the pain such as applying topical lidocaine to the area just before the procedure.
