Can Exercise Help Alleviate Burning Sensation After Coolsculpting?

Thank you for your question. For some exercise helps, and others, they have elevated irritation. You will have to try an increase in activity and see if this helps. This procedure can take 6 weeks or more to have the sensations settle down so patience is key. I hope this helps.

Patients who undergo multiple areas of CoolSculpting will often find different sensations after the treatment in the different areas. Some patients have more than one treatment session and find that the same area treated the second time feels different after surgery than the first. Some times it is just a tenderness and other times, the skin feels so exquisitely tender for a few days, that the clothing is uncomfortable, and those patients do not feel better with Spanx or exercise.There are medications that your doctor can prescribe for you possibly, that will help lessen the discomfort.

If one tries exercise and it helps, then they can continue without cause for concern, but if it makes it more uncomfortable, one should stop.

Thank you for question. Many patients have described a burning sensation or itching to their abdomen after treatment. This is because the abdomen is a very sensitive area. This typically takes 2 weeks to resolve. You can exercise if you are feeling well enough to do so but if you feel more discomfort I suggest waiting till you feel better. Best of Luck!
