Can coolsmooth applicator use on pinchable fat area lower ab to avoid delay nerve pain? had extreme delay nerve pain for 3 weeks on my lower ab from using traditional suction applicator(1 hr). All the pain was coming from the belly button area. I had coolsmooth applicator done to upper abdomen & no delay nerve pain. I believe the suction from applicators causes delay nerve pain. I understand the new suction applicator (35 minutes) have less pain but I rather not take a chance.
Answer: Coolsculpting Great question. First of all I am sorry to hear that you are having nerve issues but it should get better over time. As far as the applicators are concerned the flat applicator without suction can be used but it will be hard to get full contact and you will have below average results. If the fat is pinchable the standard applicators are preferred. Now the new advantage applicators have less incidence of all the side effects so might be worth trying so that at least you get good cryolipolysis.

Answer: CoolSculpting: What Is Best To Avoid Late Onset Pain? Thanks for your question. I would not recommend using the CoolSmooth Plus applicator on the lower abdomen. That applicator is specifically designed for areas that are not pinchable. But, I can tell you that we have treated thousands of lower abdomens with the newer CoolAdvantage (35 min) applicators, and have not had even one patient complain of late onset pain. You will see that the entire experience is completely different and so much more comfortable using the Advantage applicators. I think you will get much better results using the applicator that is designed for the lower abdomen. Good luck with your CoolSculpting journey!

Answer: Coolsmooth on non pinchable fat Coolsmooth applicators can be used on areas other than the outer thighs but this does not mean you will not receive any nerve pain in the treatment area. More importantly, the outer thighs applicator is not usually the right shape for areas like lower abs. A better treatment with pinchable stomach fat is to use the new Cooladvantage series of applicators which were designed to be faster, more comfortable and product less side effects/downtime. Since we started using these applicators over year ago, we have not seen any incidences of nerve related issues and our clients continually report that they are way more comfortable than the original series!

Answer: Nerve pain after coolsculpting Each person and each treatment in the same person can have a different response with regards to nerve pain. If you have this issue please speak with your treating physician about it and have them start you on medication to ease this discomfort. There does seem to be a reduced incidence with never pain with the new applicator. Good luck with your transformation.

Answer: CoolSmooth pro for the lower abdomen There is still similar post treatment numbness and tenderness post cool smooth. The newer applicators have less incidence of post treatment nerve pain, however the addition of acoustic wave massage (Z-wave or Cellutone) after any coolscuplting treatment has the most dramatic reduction of ALL post treatment issues. From my experience, the most important thing with the CoolSmooth applicator is it typically requires two treatments to get the best result (I set that expectation with patients so that we shoot for the best result possible). Single treatments with the non-smooth applicators can be enough for many patients, but the smooth requires a double treatment 90% of the time. Cheers!
