I had my Zeltiq CoolSculpting done five weeks ago. I am already seeing some fat reduction which I am happy about. I'm slightly concerned about some slight numbness that I'm still feeling in the areas done. Initially the areas were completely numb and bruised. The bruises subsided but some numbness lingers. Is it normal for there be some numbness at the five week mark? When can I expect full sensation to return?

Answer: Coolsculping numbness Some patients will notice redness, numbness and itching in the treated areas. The redness usually dissipates over days. The numbness and itching can persist a bit longer and typically subsides within weeks to months if it is present. The abdomen area tends to have the highest incidence of numbness after Coolsculpting.

Answer: CoolSculpting Numbness- How Long? Thank you for your question! It is great to hear that you are already seeing results from your CoolSculpting treatment, how exciting! The good news here is that the feeling of numbness you are experiencing, even at five weeks, is completely normal. Numbness and slight-numbness tend to last for several weeks post treatment. The time it takes for numbness to completely disappear varies from patient to patient so it is hard to give an exact timeline. If your symptoms continue beyond six weeks I would recommend checking in with the physician who treated you for an exam so they can give you a better idea of when to expect the symptoms to dissipate. Please see my video listed below for more helpful information regarding your question. I wish you the best in your recovery!
