Is numbness in fingers normal after treatment? How long will it last?

Elgh
Hello I have done cool sculpting tx done on my under arms 2 days ago. I had an excruciating pain after tx. Although the tx was only on my under arms, my forearm and my small and ring fingers are numb as well. It's 2 days now and I have not seen any improvement. My hands are very weak Is this going to get away? Is the numbness reversible ? Thank you
