So 8 days ago I tried coolsculpting on my upper arms. I had the procedure don’t by a River Chase Dermatology in Venice. The office visit was great and the woman that hooked me up to the machine very nice. There was minimal discomfort for the first 10 minutes after the cool sculpting was applied. 60 minutes for each side. There was a bit of pain after the suction was taken off and should begin to massage but it quickly went away. For the first few days it was numb with no pain. On the fifth the day I started getting burning sensations with a bit of stabbing. But every day after that it has been a terrible burning striking stabbing pain that is unbearable and the only way to sue that is with a cold pack. I can’t sleep at night because of the pain.
I hope I get some results form this to make it worth all this pain but I read that people need at least two treatments to see a difference. If I have to pay another 1500 to go though this pain again to see results it just won’t happen. I don’t see spending this much money to be in this kinda pain and have it not work the first time around.

I completely understand. The pain is delayed nerve regeneration pain. IT IS AWFUL! Some of the worst pain I’ve ever had. I don’t think I can do this twice. It’s unbearable at times. I’m 10 days post procedure.

I didn't have much pain, but real discomfort and bruising and it cost me 3500 to see no results on my love handles and bra flap. Decided to not go for a second sessions if there was absolutely nothing to show from the first visit.

Try putting bio freeze on the treatment sites, this was a huge help when I had my outer thighs done.

Wow I had discomfort too but not nearly as bad as liposuction was. I went for the second treatment and saw a big difference. I am very happy wit my results!

Less burning

Ok, so today the pain is bearable. There is still a little burning but a couple minutes with a ice pack and I’m good to go again. No changes yet of course.

I do not see a difference. Shame I really wanted to have cool sculpting to my upper arms just to get rid of the cellulite.

It takes over well 10 weeks to see first signs of visible change. I’m surprised no one mentioned that to you.

They told me 3 months. I uploaded these pictures intended for a after the coolsculpting but before results kinda thing. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh no worries. I had it done too. I just wanted you to know in case no one told you. I’m looking forward to seeing full results also! I’m already seeing some. I’m excited for you
