April 19 : 12 days as a middle back treatment, 8 days of the waist area and a week after upper back-underarms treatment
Swelling, tenderness and bruising are mostly gone , except the upper part. Bruising is still visible there, and it is gone to the greenish hue! Definitely there was more bruising on the upper back, and it is the most sensitive area so far (pick from 4th to 6th day), but nothing extreme or needing any pain medication. Mostly only when touching, jumping, or putting bra on. But today is the day when I had to press in a few places to find any painful spots . It is almost underarms. Rest feels pain free!
All of the treated areas have less sensitivity to the touch, like my skin in there fell asleep, or frozen.
Since swelling is going down after week of puffiness, it feels like slimming is already started!

I always was athletic and had a broad shoulders. With age my back fat started to be more pronounced. I asked about Cool Sculpting in the Plastic Surgeon office. During the consultation some pinching of my back was done and we have decided on the plan of action. I did 3 sessions in one week, 6 total areas to be treated - first was on April 7th - a middle back - lower bra line, then a lower part - almost at the waist line on April 11, and last one is the upper bra line - the "cupid wings" on April 12.
April 7th During first session everything was strange - very cold gel, suction to point of painful discomfort, which became tolerable pretty fast. About 15 min into the procedure , I suddenly got dizzy. But feeling passed in a few seconds. Massage of the frozen area was a strange, but not a painful process, since it was frozen I guess. I needed to use a bathroom between sessions. Returning for a treatment of second spot on the other side. First spot is tender, but not too bad.
Some tingling started in an hour or so then it turned to the tenderness. Bruise-like feel if touched. It started to feel as a bruise and area got swollen within few hours. Indeed it looked as a purple bruise as well.
April 8th. I woke up with a mild discomfort, and tender back area. Putting bra on was somewhat painful. See that area is swollen.
April 9-10. No changes, some pain, swelling and tomorrow I have to go for next area treatment.
April 11. Zone-2nd treatment day. Still hurts to put a bra on after first session. Questioning if it is a smart idea to get into more discomfort....Then getting phone call with invitation for a wedding in a 3 month. Great! Happily marching to the Doctors Office and happily getting ready for a second treatment.
Zone-2 is near a waist area. Told that it is a pretty easy one- very little pain or discomfort reported. Go through 2 hours of treatment like a champ. Really seems easier. No dizziness this time.
Evening of April 11. Only light bruises in the treated today area. No pain, swelling or discomfort. Tried hula-hoop. Ouch! Nope, it is too much.
April 12. 3rd treatment day. My first treated area getting better! Put on bra today without grinding my teeth. Swelling is going down. No swelling appeared on freshly treated area and no pain there (yet?). Nice anyways!
In Doctor's office: I am getting told that upper back/side area is sensitive, more sensitive then previous 2. :/ Suction is creating pretty stingy feel underarm for a few seconds. Then area getting numb, and all is easy. After first application I am going to use bathroom and feel treated area getting pretty painful, as I walk, pain about 3-4 of 10 with every step. Returning to continue in corresponding spot on other side.
Last hour of treatment was as usual, and pain in freshly treated spot was almost gone.
April 12. Evening. After the treatment I got another dizziness spell, maybe an hour after I left Dr.Office. Again it lasted just a few seconds. Then it passed.
Treated today spots are not as tender as were those in a first treatment. Maybe my body adopts?
April 13. 6 areas treated within a week. 4 in a last 2 days and I feel totally fine!. No pain, and not much of a discomfort. I can't jump or run - back is somewhat tender if touched or shocked. But all other time I just forgetting about it and do everything I usually do.
April 14. Al day I was very busy and forgetting about treated areas. At home I took a look in the mirror and see that top ones look very dark! I and I feel numbness if I am touching it, not much pain though. But it doesn't bother me at all during day and daily activities.
April 15. I am getting an impression that the first treatment was received by my body with the most response. Rest didn't get that much swelling or pain. My first treatment areas are still tender. Not less than a newer ones, but somewhat more. Bruises on my back are fading and swelling also almost gone.
