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.

Answer: Pain at base of neck with CoolMini treatment Yes, the suction can be adjusted. In most situations, re-positioning of the CoolMini handpiece and its "scaffolding" will take care of that. Alternatively, you could have Kybella (or the original formula, mesolipotherapy, which has 42mg/ml deoxycholate instead of Kybella's 10mg/ml, and has phosphatidyl choline to result in a smoother contour post-procedure, unlike Kybella). Incidentally, the original formula, mesolipotherapy, is significantly less expensive. (Hmmmm. A better product, better results, at significantly less cost? That is correct! I have personally performed hundreds of mesolipotherapy treatments, and have had happy people 100% of the time with even just one neck treatment.) There are cons: with Kybella or Mesolipotherapy, you will have a transient amount of moderately severe pain for 6-8 hours typically and huge amounts of swelling for two days. Hope that helps!

Answer: Kybella v coolsculpting If this occurs it may be the placement of the applicator that is causing you tension. Consider the alternative to freezing your fat and get Kybella injections to treat that area. Hope this helps.
