How long does "beaten up" pain last after CoolSculpting to abdomen?

Thank goodness the newer applicators were used, or the pain would be worse. You had a lot treated in one day, so it is perfectly normal to feel sore after treatment. The "bruised feeling" and soreness can last anywhere between a few days and a few weeks, but it should gradually get better each day. I recommend wearing tight clothes over the treated area for more comfort. When I had my flanks treated I wore tight high waisted yoga pants and it helped tremendously. Any time it jiggles it will feel sore, so a tight top should help hold everything in and reduce the majority of the pain. Also, a warm bath can help it feel more comfortable. 

Thanks for your question. Having discomfort after CoolSculpting is perfectly normal and usually last for about a week.  Swelling is also a natural and expected part of the post treatment process.  We find that our clients are more comfortable if they wear compression garments to keep from experiencing the jiggle.  Additionally, many clients find that rubbing arnica on the area and applying heat also helps.  I hope you get some great results.  What I hear over and over is that the discomfort was worth it, because the results are so amazing. Good luck with everything.
