Different pain level in different areas treated with Coolsculpting

Thank you for your question, Luna2020- While every patient has a different pain level tolerance, typically the abdominal area is the most sensitive area to treat with CoolSculpting.  Also, within the past year CoolSculpting has improved their technology and applicators to be more tolerable to patients and less painful. It is possible that your CoolSculpting Specialist used the new advantage applicator for your flanks and lower abs and your treatment was more comfortable the second time. My Best, Dr. Basile  

There is no rule how painful it will be after Coolsculpting procedure. Different people experience different levels on pain on different areas of their body. You will see initial results after 8 weeks while end results will be visible after 3 months. I believe that stronger pain and discomfort means that more fat cells are being dissolves therefore it can lead to better results. If your pain is not going away I advise you to consult your provider. Good luck!
