No numbness or pain post CoolSculpting session - is this normal?

Congratulations on your CoolSculpting® session! Since everyone's body will respond slightly differently to treatment, don't be alarmed if you don’t seem to be experiencing any pain or numbness. That said, it is possible that you could experience some delayed discomfort, numbness or a tingling sensation within the next few days, but these side effects are generally mild and should gradually fade away on their own. If you have any questions about your treatment as your body continues to heal, don't hesitate to check in with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. While temporary numbness and discomfort are potential side effects of CoolSculpting® treatments, not everyone experiences them. That said, it’s unclear from your post when you had your treatment done. Sometimes, slight soreness sets in around 5 days after the treatment. Your current swelling and redness should subside over the next few days. Best of luck with your results!

 

 Every patient's nervous system is slightly different and therefore sensations of pain and discomfort can vary. Whereas most CoolScupting patients will feel a slight soreness or numbness after the procedure, many do not. It is perfectly normal to be pain-free and will have no affect on your results. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is certified by Zeltiq for all of your CoolSculpting sessions.
