The cooling rate for cavity mediated laser cooling scales as the Lamb-Dicke parameter $\eta$ squared. A proper analysis of the cooling process hence needs to take terms up to $\eta^2$ in the system dynamics into account. In this paper, we present such an analysis for a standard scenario of cavity mediated laser cooling with $\eta \ll 1$. Our results confirm that there are many similarities between ordinary and cavity mediated laser cooling. However, for a weakly confined particle inside a strongly coupled cavity, which is the most interesting case for the cooling of molecules, numerical results indicate that even more detailed calculations are needed to model the cooling process accurately.
