HI, I have had 2 sessions of CS on my abdomen (lower - with large applicator) done but want to go in for a 3rd time. 1> Would that be harmful to me in anyway? 2> Its been about 4 months since my last session. Is it the right time to get the 3rd session? 3>I have experienced a lot of pain with each treatment. What is the best OTC medication I can use(my doctor does prescribe something but I was wondering if there was anything milder and effective) Thanks & regards

Answer: CoolSculpting At 4 months post CoolSculpting treatment it is safe to have another treatment on your abdomen. As for pain recommendation I recommend Extra strength Tylenol (if no allergy or contraindication is present).

Answer: Multiple CoolSculpting sessions Dear kanika910:At times patients decide to undergo CoolSculpting rather than liposuction, understanding that multiple treatments will be required for someone starting out with a thicker layer of adipose tissue. There is no reason one cannot have multiple treatments to the same or adjacent areas, and at four months, it is unlike you will perceive further significant benefit without another treatment.I am not sure what type of pain you are having, and whether it is at the beginning or immediately after the treatment, or in the days or weeks afterward. If you have a history of Raynaud's, the treatment can be more painful. For pain at the beginning or immediately after treatment, I would recommend 800 mg of ibuprofen. For tenderness that often occurs for up to two weeks after the procedure and is generally mild, I would recommend Tylenol. This can be combined with ibuprofen if Tylenol is insufficient. For the very rare occurrence of more severe pain, gabapentin is very effective but is not an OTC medication.

Answer: Safety of Multiple CoolSculpting Treatments If you still have fat in the area, then it is ok to have another CoolSculpting treatment done. Four months after your last treatment is actually a good time to get re-treated. As far as the pain goes, you can try and control it with Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

Answer: Multiple Coolsculpting sessions on one area Hi There!Your experienced Coolsculpting practitioner should be able to let you know at the outset how many procedures you can expect to require to achieve your optimal results. If that is three sessions, that's ok.
