When Does the Excrutiating Pain Subside After CoolSculpting?

It sounds like you are experiencing delayed onset pain from CoolSculpting treatment. This is a rare occurrence, but as you describe, can be very painful. Anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen, can be helpful in reducing your pain. While this reaction usually only lasts for a week or so, I suggest contacting your provider to rule out any other cause for the pain and to potentially prescribe medication that may be helpful. 

Some patients will experience late onset pain after a CoolSculpting treatment.  It typically comes on about 4-5 days after the treatment and can be intense.  Late onset pain usually last a week or so but can be addressed.  Wearing compression garments such as Spanx help and taking IB Profin as needed.  If that doesn't help enough, contact your CoolSculpting treatment facility.  They may be able to prescribe you a nerve blocking medication to help with the pain. 

The symptoms that are described were more common with the first generation of CoolSculpting machines. Now the applicators and machines have been developed to decrease post-procedural pain as well as taking less time for the actual treatment. Patients have reported that the pain or discomfort felt in the abdomen seems to be very different than those who have their inner or outer thighs treated. Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort which is easily treated with ibuprofen or Tylenol. In certain areas like the stomach, wearing a form fitting undergarment decreases the irritation against the skin if it feels sensitive.
