Should I continue my CoolSculpting treatments after being in pain from my first treatment?

It is possible to develop tingling, burning, pinching and sharp pains to the abdomen after a CoolSculpting treatment.  All of these issues should completely resolve within a couple of weeks after the procedure.  I do find that these side effects are less likely to occur with the newer applicators versus the older ones.  

These symptoms are completely normal after a CoolSculpting treatment. Your discomfort and swelling should improve and or disappear within the next week or so. You may take Advil or Ibuprofen to help with the discomfort. I would continue with the recommended treatment plan as long as these symptoms subside. If you feel it is not improving or worsening I would call your CoolSculpting provider.

Thank you for your question. Yes, It is completely normal to feel a little swollen and tender for a few days or even a few weeks.
