I did take some ibuprofen but now after reading this site looks is not a good idea. What can I do to help with the pain. I am already wearing compression and ice. Anything else I can do?

Answer: CoolSculpting and Ibuprofen Yes - you can take Ibuprofen. The first week after your Coolsculpting procedure can be uncomfortable for some patients. It is almost like a 'bruise' feeling in the area that was treated.Were you treated with the Zimmer Z Wave immediately after they pulled the applicator off? We treat all our Coolsculpting patients with the Zimmer Z Wave (called our CoolWave Procedure) and we are seeing patients with less swelling and better overall results. You are doing all the right things however: Wear the compression garment - that will also help with post procedure swelling and take Ibuprofen for pain.You will start to see results about 2 - 3 months after your cycles. And then it will all be worth it! Good luck with everything.

Answer: Pain after Coolsculpting I actually had my lower abs treated with Coolsculpting last week. The bloating and swelling have now resolved, but I do have occasional pain which is easily relieved with Ibuprofen. If you have more severe pain, a sensory nerve may have got caught in the treatment zone. If that happened, I would recommend a short course of Neurontin from your Coolsculpting provider.
