Does Coolsculpting Hurt?

One of the most frequently asked questions we get about Coolsculpting here at Senara Health And Wellness Center & Spa is whether there is any pain associated with the treatment. The short answer is no, but we’ve provided some more information for you to better understand what to expect from the procedure. Read on to learn more, and contact us today to book a free consultation at our med spa in Peoria! 


How Coolsculpting Works

The Coolsculpting procedure uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells without harming the surrounding skin or tissue. Coolsculpting is FDA-cleared and approved, and it has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for fat reduction. Check out this blog post we wrote for more information about how the procedure works.


What Does It Feel Like

At Senara, we like to compare the feeling of Coolsculpting to the sensation of icing an area of your body after a sports injury. As the Coolsculpting devices get to work, you will likely feel some cooling, stinging, or burning sensations as the tissue gets to a place where it’s actually healing. This would be best described as mild discomfort, and it normally only lasts for five minutes or so. 


Does Coolsculpting Hurt?

Coolsculpting does not hurt, and we have never had anyone even come close to stopping their procedure at Senara. After the first five minutes, your target area will become numb and you won’t feel much at all for the remainder of your treatment. You may feel some discomfort for about a minute after the device is removed and blood rushes back to your target area, but that will subside quickly.
