Beverly Hills CoolSculpting Doctors and Reviews

“Skinny Fat Male in Los Angeles -...”

I'm a 38 yo male who has never been able to get rid of the lower ab fat and love handles. I consistently weigh between 150-155pnds. I am 5'7. I work out with a trainer three days a week and attend an interval training bootcamp twice a week. Plus I eat a healthy low carb diet 85-90% of the time. Still can't get rid of the problem fat areas. The procedure was a little uncomfortable to start... more

“Coolsculpting in Los...”

Had procedure done on 1/24/13 with the small applicator on my lower abdomen. I am 5'2" and now 118 lbs. I was 146 lbs at one point and that was not acceptable to me. i had to make a change. I work out 4-5 days a week; cardio, resistance training, bikram yoga. I train with a personal trainer once a week and consider myself to be in pretty good shape. I cycle between a pretty hardcore clean diet... more

“1000 Needles Poking at my Abdomen -...”

I decided to have the coolsculpting procedure done on wednesday on my lower abdomen. I have children and I am in my late 30's, weigh 135 and I'm 5'6. Never saw huge results with exercise and weight training. Today is day 6 and I am still in excruiating pain even after taking motrin 800 mg every 6-8hours. The pain will wake you up at night and is about a 7. Ice helps tremendously. I am... more

“CoolSculpting on Inner/Outer Thighs,...”

I wanted to post about my experience because in doing my research, I found a lot of reviews and photos for people who had done CoolSculpting on the abs, but very few for legs/thighs and arms. A little background on me: I am 44, 5'2 and 123 lbs. I exercise regularly (run 10ks, strength train, etc.) and eat a vegan diet. I am pretty fit, but thanks to genetics, I've always been unhappy with... more

“Not Worth It! - Glendale, CA”

The procedure hurt alot more than I anticipated. The suction takes your breath away and you have to stay like that for the hour. When the procedure is over, they remove the apparatus and your skin feels numb, but you feel discomfort. I felt cramps...like menstrual cramps. The results were lame....the reduction was insignificant for the price I paid. I would have rather spent another 1500... more

“Coolsculpting in Two 30 Minute...”

I went in for coolsculpting yesterday on my abdomen - about 30 minutes through the treatment the applicator came off. 5 minutes later, the assistant came in and took the applicator off, then another 5 min later the doctor came in and said they needed to get the area back to normal body temperature to resume, she said that would take 15 minutes. 45 minutes later, after having tried ultrasound... more

“Be prepare for two weeks of burning...”

I guess it"s too early to give it a "worth it" review now since I it"s only been 5 days after the treatment, even if I didnt pay anything for this. Here"s my story: I"ve researched for zerona, coolsculpting and smartlipo for quite a while and consulted several doctors before I made the decision to do the coolsculpting. The med-spa I went for hair removal also has the coolsculpting machine,... more

“Reluctant at First...but Did It! No...”

I'm 36 years old, have been athletic my entire life but as I've gotten older my metabolism and my body has obviously not responded as well to exercise as in years past. After extensive reading about the procedure as well as reading practically every review I could find I finally decided that Coolsculpting was worth a shot. I'm petite, 5 feet tall and the way that fat has been depositing on my... more

“Tummy Was Fine...it Was the Arms...”

After reading these boards I almost cancelled my appointment because I was so afraid of the pain and aftermath. I psyched myself up and began with my stomach (the large attachment). It was definitely uncomfortable, but doable. I brought my iPad, sat up and distracted myself. For me the most painful part was after they took the machine off, and began massaging it and the blood began to... more

“Not That Painful FOR ME - Los...”

I had it done (love handles and lower abdomen) 3 days ago. Started one hour with a big applicator on the lower abdomen. OMG the first 5 minutes freaked me out. Very painful! Like someone is pulling your belly and your organs out of your body... After that it got numbed. Then i did the left love handle, much less painfull, almost nothing. The next day i did the right love handle. There was no... more

“Had It Done! No Pain! - Los Angeles, CA”

I have researched coolsculpting for almost two years, including reading every review on this website (which is why I'm writing one), and finally had it done yesterday. I am very skeptical of any type of non-surgical fat reduction device, but I'm convinced this one is effective. I'm 27, 5'7" 128lbs, work out regularly (6 times a week), and eat very clean healthy and... more

“CoolSculpting in Encino - Not Too Bad”

I'm very grateful for all the reviews posted here; I feel that they really helped prepare me for the experience. I'm 32 yrs old, about 5'6 and 135 lbs. I've lost around 25 lbs in the past 5 months and even ran my first 5K but no matter what I tried I couldn't do anything about that stubborn lower abdomen pooch and have never been able to. So as a treat to myself for all... more

“I Think It's Working - Encino, CA”

I am 54 years old, 5'9" 140 pounds, I do pilates reformer 3 days a week and spin for one hour 3 days a week. I had my lower stomach done, no matter how thin or fat or how hard I work out it is still something I dislike about my body. At 54 it's probably silly but I thought why not. As most people have stated when the Dr. first puts the sucking machine on it's a shock but after... more

“More Painful Than I Thought -...”

I went for the treatment one week ago, had two days in a row for my belly. First they told me it wouldn't hurt..WRONG it was painfull fo the first 10 minutes, after it was sort of ok. I am at day 6 days later now and it still is swollen and hurts...hope that it will get better in the coming days more

“Great Experience and Results -...”

I am actually writing about my coolsculping experience with Cory the PA. I had my consult and was explained the whole procedure, I am a Registered Nurse, so at first thoughts I was skeptical. But I made my appointment, first in the "tummy pooch" area to see what the results would be. It has been three weeks and I do see results. I am 48, have had three pregnancies and have always... more

“Disappointed in Coolsculpting - Long...”

I had Coolsculpting performed on my entire abdomen area on Dec. 1st, and just the lower sides a few months prior to that. I have yet to see results. I don't understand why this procedure works so well on some people, but little to no results for others. more

“Waste of Money - Beverly Hills, CA”

I had it done twice, my abdomen and love handles. There was absolutely no result. if I could get a refund, I would. I got the Zeltiq in beverly hills, on wilshire and lacienega. I exercise, eat right. I am in good shape, male, and wanted a small reduction in my abs. but no result whatsoever, but losing $3000. more

“Not Sure of Results, but Definite...”

I had the procedure done 4 days ago, single large applicator, lower abdomen. As others have stated, the first few minutes was incredibly uncomfortable, the suction was powerful & overwhelming enough to bring cold sweats--like a clamp biting down on your skin. While I normally consider myself as someone who can take a lot of pain, the first few minutes made me feel faint. The feeling passed... more

“3 Months Later - No Results - Los...”

I did it on my lower tummy after 2 kids- no results after 3 months. So disappointing. I keep hoping I will see something but I think I would have seen something by now. more

“Cool Sculptor - Encino, CA”

I have had the procedure done and am looking forward to results. Before the procedure began Dr. P asked if I had an additional questions or concerns. He checked in on me to make sure all was going well during the process. I even got a cupcake on my way out for being such a good patient! =) more

“In Pain After Zeltiq - Los Angeles, CA”

I chose to do Zeltiq in my abdominal area: one small treatment on each lovehandle, a large treatment just below my belly button, and one medium treatment just above my belly button. I did 4 straight hours of the treatment 6 days ago. I did not feel great pain during the procedures - the large attachment was uncomfortable for the first 8-10 minutes but that was it. I felt a bit sore and... more

“Zeltiq Definitely Worth It If You're...”

I've had one treatment so far and I am amazed to be perfectly honest. I has a lower abdomen pooch, like many women, despite the fact that I am 5'5" 120lbs, and 13.9% body fat. This pooch never budged. My mom had it, her sister, their mom, it was just genetic. The pooch is almost entirely gone now and it's been about 6 weeks since my procedure. I saw results within about... more

“Unfortuately not worth the money for me”

I'm a 45 yo guy in Los Angeles and had a single Zeltiq procedure done on my abs (with the small hand piece) two days ago. I'm lean (some would say skinny -- 5' 11 1/2" and 153 lbs) but have a small roll of stubborn fat around my navel that only comes off if I drop below 150 lbs. At that point my face looks gaunt, which is not what I want! I was originally considering... more

“Beware of the Side Effects! - Los...”

I had my abdomen area done on 1/18/11. The procedure itself was mildly uncomfortable for a few minutes at the beginning. I found it very painful when the cup was removed and the area looked like a stick of butter and needed to thaw. I am now eight days after the procedure and continue to have itching, numbness and general discomfort in the area. I understand the numbness may take a month to go... more
