What does the treatment feel like?
With certain applicators and in certain treatment areas a pulling, tugging, or mild pinching sensation can be felt during the procedure but is tolerable. Once the cooling of the fat below the skin begins you may feel some intense coldness which will go away as the area starts to feel numb. Most people pass their time by reading, watching videos, working on their laptop, or even taking a nap. Once the treatment is over, we massage the treated area for a few minutes and you may feel intense cold, stinging, aching, and cramping over the area. This goes away after a few minutes.
What side effects may happen?

Some sensitivity in the treated areas is normal and may include – redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, firmness and some temporary discoloration of the skin. Most people will experience these normal side effects for about two to four weeks after treatment and they resolve on their own.
Rare side effects may include:
Paradoxical hyperplasia – Rarely the treated area can become enlarged because of swelling of tissue. This would occur two to five months after the treatment and may require surgical treatment.
