WORTH IT$1,200
Today I had my first cool sculpting treatment on my back fat. I felt no pain when the suction started, and no cramping or anything until the procedure was over, and the frozen fat was massaged. I started to feel nauseated (this is from the thawing and heat coming back to the frozen area, and I also felt like I had worked out hard. Nothing unbearable! I am 10 hours out, and feel fine, just like I had a hard workout. A bit sensitive if I lean back in my chair...but so far I am feeling great. I will keep you all updated, and will post pics when I can get someone to take some for me. :)
I am 5'4, 154 lbs and I have been on low dose prednisone for several years. This is an attempt to reduce the fat I acquired from the prednisone. I am feeling confident that I will have a successful result.

Day 7 post cool sculpting
SunnyDeeinAzApril 10, 2014
Its about 7 days post cool sculpting, and I am still doing well. I have not noticed any changes yet, but I wasn't expecting to. I am feeling some tenderness, itching, and pins and needles. I feel like I jumped in freezing cold water, and I can feel my skin is tingling. Its not pleasant, but its not something I can't handle. It bothers me at night, and I have to take two tylenol to get to sleep. Keep ya posted

Thanks for sharing your story so far. I haven't read of many people getting CoolSculpting on their back so I'm looking forward to following your progress. :)
When is the itching and tenderness supposed to go away?

My pleasure, I will be sure to keep this updated as time progresses. :) I am not sure when the itching, and tenderness is supposed to stop, but since I posted yesterday it has become more intense. I did not sleep at all last night because the burning sensation has kicked in. I was not able to wear a bra today, so I wore a bandeau instead. I keep remembering there is an end goal, and that makes it more tolerable. I hope this is helpful to others to have this info.

Absolutely. I know it's helpful to me. :) Sorry that it's started burning.You might want to try exercise -- this is helpful for some (but worse for others, so take it easy at first). Of course, ask your doctor if that's okay. :)

Hi Sunny Dee! Itching and tenderness after CoolSculpting, when it occurs, can last a couple of weeks just as you have experienced. Very rarely there can be a day or two of significant discomfort (as it seems you are now having) at about 2 weeks. This always resolves within a very short period of time. If you are still having any discomfort please give us a call so that we can address you needs. In general ibuprofen and compression garments such as Spanx help! Keep us posted:)

Day 14...i think.

So today is about two weeks. The burning, tingling, and tenderness are essentially gone! Yay! I still have itching periodically, but nothing major. I don't feel like I see any results at all, but my Mom swears she does. Its only two weeks, so I don't expect to see anything yet. Life is good. Im hoping to see results because Id love to know that it will work on my hips as well. I did read that if you are on prednisone (as I am) that there may not be a result at all...I knew this going into this, but I am one who needs to try it to see for myself. Lets just say, I learn the hard(and expensive) way. :)
