Why is no anesthetic offered for CoolSculpting? Just because we're to believe it's painless?

Why isn't some form of topical anesthetic used for those of us who do experience pain (not just discomfort) when the device is applied? Had Coolsculpting on my lower abdomen using the small device. The left side was done first, and no real discomfort. The right side was then done, and I almost rose up off the chair because it did (no kidding or embellishing) hurt like h-e-double hockey sticks. Why can't some sort of anesthesia be offered to those who do experience pain during the procedure?
