During Cool Sculpting on the neck, have patients complained of pain at the base of the skull?

July 8, 2018
Asked By:lindak12207 in Nashville, TN

I attempted Cool Sculpting on my double chin & had to stop. Not because of numbing/coldness, but because of severe pain at the base of my skull- as if my spinal column & skull wanted to pull apart. I was positioned sitting w the head of the bed slightly reclined. Re-adjustment of position did not alleviate the intense suction/pulling sensation on my neck. Can different levels of suction be programmed in? I’m wondering if there is another way to get through the procedure minus anesthesia.
