Long Beach CoolSculpting Doctors and Reviews

“Just did this yesterday 03/26/2013 -...”

Before going to my very first appointment for CoolSculpting, I stumbled upon this page. There were so many complaints of how painful this process was that I was terrified. Before starting my CoolSculpt, I kept anticipating pain. Never happened. The only thing I felt, it felt as if someone had a hold of my fatty area. I did two sections on my lower abs. The process was easy and pain free. When... more

“Worth It, Great Staff! - Newport...”

I had my love handles done using Coolsculpting. The procedure has minimal discomfort. You are numb after but that eases soon. I saw great results soon after. As well, the staff was very attentive. The results have lasted. Coolsculpting met my expectations and reduced my love handles! I recommend Newport Coast Dermatology!     more

“CoolSculpting- Totally Worth It -...”

I work out all the time, but there were a couple of areas that I've always had problems with. When I heard that cool sculpting was a noninvasive procedure I knew it was for me! The procdure itself is an hour long, if anything it's just a little uncomfortable.. It's worth the time and money. The staff at NCD was super accommodating, and nice. more

“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

“Optimistic About CoolSculpting -...”

I am 5'7 and 125 lbs, but even when I was 10 lbs. lighter I still had this pooch and bra rolls that would not go away. Liposuction seemed too drastic and expensive, so I was intrigued to go the CoolSculpting route. I wanted to get it done sooner than later to make sure that the full results are showing for next swimwuit season. During my consultation, a large applicator was determined to... more

“Loved It - Orange County, CA”

This was such a great option for me. It was no down time and I really loved the results. I had my flanks done which were a little bulgy and the procedure really did minimize the bulge and left a natural curve! It really did make a nice difference without has to have surgery. Dr. Kessler and his staff are amazing. Wayne and Sonia are so helpful they really made the overall experience great... 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

“The CoolSculpting Really Worked for...”

I have a flabby stomach and no matter how much weight I have lost it still is flabby. I did my first treatment 5 months ago. It was uncomfortable but bearable. I paid 1200 for two treatments and my stomach is alot less fat. I was amazed that this really worked and I am going back for another treatment 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

“Worth a Try - Newport Beach, CA”

So after reading and debating, I finally got this done yesterday. I am 5'4'' and weigh 128, in good shape just a little pooch on my stomach I cant get rid of with diet and exercise. Non-invasive is worth a shot, I purchased a groupon, great deal I couldnt pass up with a plastic surgeon in newport, so I felt most comfortable he knows what he is doing lol. I got 2 areas done. I did my lower... 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

“Excited To See By The Sea! - Newport...”

I first saw a Groupon for this Cool Sculpting procedure, and I was immediately intrigued. I am a 30 year old woman who works out 4-5 days a week, eat relatively health, but have always seemed to have my stomach as my trouble area, no matter how thin I am. I am 5'7" 145 LBS, and excited to see what the months ahead have in store for me! I went in yesterday 6.4.12, and went in with little... more

“Amazing Tummy Reduction Option! -...”

I am on month two of my post-CoolSculpting procedure, and so far, I've lost 4 inches from my lower abdomen! I'm 5'0" and weighed 140 at the time of the procedure. I have not changed my eating habits, although I do exercise about 3-4 times a week. The procedure itself was quick and painless, if a little uncomfortable. It lasted for two hours for both areas. They have you lay down, attach... 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

“Dr K and Office Staff - the Most...”

Coolscupting - this is my second go around with Coolsculpting. Dr K and office are the best, they took the time to explain the procedure and made sure that I was comfortable. During the procedure they were very attentive and checked in on a regular basis. 1 month down I have lost 1" - tummy looks fantastic, I cannot wait to have my second treatment!!! Thanks so much for a truly wonderful... 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

“Very Easy and Pain Free - Newport...”

I had a baby less than a year ago and was left with a hard to loose tummy bulge. I saw results in about 2 weeks and there was not much discomfort during or after the procedure as I anticipated. I can't wait to do the procedure again! more

“Had Zeltiq Yesterday - Irvine, CA”

I had my first zeltiq treatment yesterday. The doctor told me it would be better if I used a large applicator on my right and left sides of my lower abdomen. i did as he asked but now I am worried that my upper abdomen will look huge?? I am hoping it will all balance out. The first 8-10 minutes were very uncomfortable and then I went numb. Now my belly is very sensitive and still a bit numb as... 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

“Exactly What I Was Looking For! -...”

After I hit 40, I just couldn't get rid of my stubborn belly fat and muffin top. I tried all types of exercises (including boot camp) only to see myself lose fat everywhere else except on my belly. I have a young child and could not take even a day to recover from any treatments. So, I was excited when I found out about Coolsculpting. The treatment took only an hour and there was no down... 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

“Side Effects of Coolsculpting -...”

I had the coolsculpting procedure done 7 days ago and I am hopeful that I will be pleased with the results. I wish that more websites were a bit more honest about the side effects. The mild "pins and needles" sensation described to me prior to the procedure is not mild at all. I experience debilitating pain daily. I can't be touched in my abdominal area and am only able to... more

“Better Belly - Orange, CA”

My first treatment, I had my lower belly and love handles done. There was very little pain for the first few minutes. It took a about 2 months before people made comments that I looked like I had lost weight. I noticed that my jeans were so much more comfortable. I was so very happy because I could never get rid of my stomach fat. When I returned to have the before and after... more

“Amazing Results with CoolSculpting!...”

I had a large amount of abdomen fat that I just couldn't get off. I had the upper and lower abdomen done and had great results. I noticed a shrinkage of the fat within days and continued to shrink. I also had the love handles and back fat done just under bra line. I have a waist again. I'm very pleased! No down time at all. more

“Skinnier in Irvine, CA”

Had huge beer/carb belly last vacation pic were not appealing to look at. Dr Liu was so professional. She went over all my options carefully and did not press for me to select any procedure. In fact she talked my wife out of attempting the procedure on a spot that she thought was not optimal for Coolsculpting. I chose to do 3 areas initially sides and abdomen. Sides were almost... 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

“CoolSculpting Procedure - Orange...”

Although I work out three times a week, the only area I can't seem to make a bit of difference with is my tummy "pooch". When I learned of the "Cool Sculpting" procedure, I immediately booked an appointment. Not only did I experience amazing results, my "pooch" is almost gone and my torso is flatter than it has been in years. I just had another appointemnt... 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

“Fantastic Results - Lost Inches and...”

To feel better physically and mentally. 54 year old male looking to reduce/eliminate love handles and excess fat in breast area. I could not be more pleased with the results after two sessions. I combined an exercise program with the CoolSculpturing and lost 14 pounds and 3.5 inches off my waist.  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

“Ice Cold Non-invasive Body...”

Quick and easy. Small level of discomfort from the cold, but all in all a worthwhile procedure for those who don't want surgery. more

“I Just Had The New Zeltiq Procedure...”

I am 32 years old and my problem has been stomach bulges since having children. No matter how much I exercised or watched my diet the fat bulges have remained. While I am not quite ready for surgery, I was ready for something to get rid of my problem. I heard about the New Zeltiq Procedure and was instantly excited to hear that something was out there and could address my issue. Dr. K... more
