“Cool Sculpting, Day 10 - Baltimore, MD”

Day 1: Swollen and sore, nothing over the top. Went to the gym, but used a wrap around the area because it felt uncomfortable being so swollen Day 2: No wrap, swelling not as bad. No major pain, slept on stomach, slight pins and needles. Day 3-7: Same, I have been working out, and dieting. Havent seen any earth shattering results yet. No pain, only slight numbness now around belly... more

“Great Doctor, Great Procedure -...”

About 5 years ago, I lost 50 pounds. When I did, the remaining fat I had went further south on my abdomen. I was left with these two small bulges of fullness right at my bikini line. When I started contemplating lipo, I asked my friend for an opinion. She said that her office has started doing this procedure, and that I was a perfect candidate. Due to my age, amount of fat, skin elasticity, my... more

“Muffin Top Flattened! - Washington, DC”

Note: Writing this post experience, and it accounts for 2 visits, first cost $1200, second for a smaller targeted area in my lower abdomen cost $650 Aug 2012 I hit the 50 and went in for a consultation about a number of areas I was dis-satisfied with on my body. Although everyone tells me I look at least 10-15 years younger, as I have few wrinkles on my face, I figure I better start... more

“Fat Freeze”

I'm 32 years old, 5'4" and 120 lbs. I workout 3 days a week (45 mins. of cardio and 25 mins. of weights) and I count calories (1100 - 1300 per day). I've always been a small person with a petite frame (I've even been underweight at times), but since my teenage years I've had a little bit of extra fat on my belly. As I've gotten older, the belly has gotten larger and hangs down over my pants... more

“No Gimmicks, Great Results & Service...”

After losing about 30 pounds over a year, I still had some residual belly fat that I just couldn't get rid of. I did a lot of research and determined that liposuction and/or a tummy tuck were too invasive and expensive for me. I had read about Coolsculpting and was able to attend an Open House and consultation with Dr. Mess where she informed me I was a prime candidate for the procedure. It... more

“Total Waste of Money - Washington, DC”

I had the procedure done in July 2010. I'm a size 6 and my stomach is my only problem area. I paid $1500 for the procedure and saw 0 results. As a matter of fact, a few months after treatment, I have "hardening" in that area. Of course, the dermatologist's office wanted more money for additional treatments which I declined. It will be impossible to get rid of the fat without surgery or laser... more

“Had my Flanks and Stomach Done -...”

Four weeks out and no difference. No pain...but can't feel anything in my stomach or flank area. Even the top of my legs are completely numb. When they did one of my flanks the suction slipped off after 33 minutes and they made me pay an extra $100.00 and said it was my fault. Seriously... I didn't move at all so they turned the suction up to 65. Really... no difference. I am 5ft2, 100 lbs... more

“CoolScultping July 6 2012”

I had both my love handles done in Ellicott City, MD. They were having a special for the month of June. I thought it would be a great time to try it. I think there are posts of pictures from that center also of some previous clients. I am 32, Asian and French, 5'4" 118lbs. I work out 5-6 days a week, two with a trainer. I wanted to improve and decrease the lovely fat pockets on my love... more

“Love the Cool Sculpting Procedure -...”

Had the cool sculpt procedure done on my lower abdomen and 4 weeks later I am already seeing results - yay! The procedure is easy, took about 1 1/2 hours, and caused very little discomfort. Afterwards I did feel bruised, although there was no visible bruising. I was able to exercise normally the next day with no issues. I no longer need to "squeeze into" my six 6 jeans, they slide right up! Am... more

“Exquisite Pain After Zeltiq - Towson, MD”

I had zeltiq done on my abdomen and flanks about 1 week ago (9 days). I have had severe stabbing pins-needle type pain in the treated areas since, where I am unable to sleep. No relief with over-the-counter pain meds. When I had the zeltiq done, the practictioner said that I should do another cycle to maximize results. This wasn't something they had discussed beforehard, but now said had to do... more

“Procedure Performed on June 1, Lower...”

Of course, like everyone on this site, I had browsed through many of the reviews before making my decision to have the procedure. I purchased a LivingSocial deal for $900 to have the lower abdomen or both love handles treated. I chose my lower abdomen. I am 5'8", 140 lbs, not overweight, but have a pooch just underneath my bellybutton that I have had for as long as I can remember. I was a... more

“Worth Every Cent!!! - Potomac, MD”

I am a 52 year old woman who wanted to try this procedure out of curiousity. I work out regularly and consider myself fit, however at the time of the procedure I was about 5 pounds over my ideal weight. I had my lower abs and flanks done. The procedure took 3 hours. The procedure itself was not a big deal. About a week after the procedure, I did have some discomfort to the point I was putting... more

“Cool Sculpting on Lower Abs...”

I had cool sculpting on my lower ab yesterday. I am 5'4" and 157lbs. I have lost 40 lbs over the past 2 years. As I age, and especially after children, my stomach has become a real nuisance. My lower ab is fairly large and hangs over my c-section scar. I'm not looking for a miracle, I just want it to deflate a little so my cloths fit better. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I did not... more

“Trying to Change my Shape -...”

Date of Consultation- April 24th (Paid half the cost) Procedure done- May 1st (Paid the Balance in order to do Procedure) I am 5'3" and 135lbs with a somewhat sedentary lifestyle. I do exercise but I'm not consistent with my workouts.

“Coolsculpting Lower Abs and Flanks...”

I had the lower abs done on 3/13 and the flanks done on 3/15. I am little (5'5" and about 118 lbs) but I have had 3 kids and with that 3 csections. I have a little over hang with my belly and the typical love handles. I workout 5-7 days a week, don't eat sweets, and watch what I eat for the most part but still have the problem areas. I don't want to get cut open so I decided a... more

“This Pain is Killing Me! Really! -...”

Purchased a deal from Groupon. I am crossing my fingers that this procedure will yield positive results. Because the pain is kicking my behind. This is the fourth day after the Coolsculpting and I am in more pain than the first day. The best way to describe the procedure is when your excess fat is sucked into the cooling panels, it feels like a painful mammogram on steroids. During the... more

“Zeltiq - Washington, DC”

I wanted coolsculpting on my inner thighs. My doctor wasn't sure if it would take or not since the suction piece was made for the abdomen, so he said we could do one side and then we can do lipo if it doesn't work. The suction piece just feels like a lot of pressure, but I didn't experience pain. It was numb and cold after we took it off, but not painful. So far I have not... more

“Still Waiting for Positive Results -...”

I work in sales and model professionally on a part-time basis, Thus, I need to maintain my athletic and fit physique to secure work, but unfortunately exercise and working out alone just hasn't completely done the expected job now that I am in my early 60's via gravity. The provider[s] were totally professional and knowledgeable, but the procedures in the abdominal areas just... more

“Don't Bother - Cockeysville, MD”

It was easy and painless. Out-patient procedure. I had some extra fat I could not get rid of on my stomach no matter how much exercising and dieting I did. This may work for people with more fat to get rid of. For me, I didnt really see any results. They did tell me i needed more than one treatment, but I didnt go back for another. I didnt want to spend another $700. more

“Dropped a Whole Size - Linthicum...”

I had a few "hard to get rid of bulges that even with dieting, wouldn't go away. Had both hips and lower tummy area done in March and by May was a size smaller. I was extremely pleased! No pain at all. The worst part was sitting there for 3 hours with nothing to do; became a bit bored. more

“Tried It - Now I Wait for the...”

I had the Zeltiq procedure done 3 days ago in Hunt Valley, MD. The area that I had treated was the upper abdomain. I have fat pockets underneath my breasts that I just hate. I didn't want to do anything invasive so I thought I would try the cool sculpting. I am a 55 year old post menopausal woman who is trying to lose those rolls of fat from my abdomain area. I thought I would try one area... more

“Hoping for Positive Results -...”

I have wanted to get rid of my love handles and pooch below my belly button for a while so I decided to try Zeltiq. I had my first two areas done 2 weeks ago on my back (both love handles). The procedure was very uncomfortable for me, but I was able to handle it. At first when the suction cup went on, I felt myself start to panic, but I immediately started to calm myself down. After the... more

“Very Very Happy with Results! - Maryland”

I had two Zeltiq treatments on my abdomen. I am petite, active and fit for the most part, but had a small "muffin top". After the first treatment I noticed results in about 45 days. A few months later I had the second treatment and again after a little over one month I saw even better results. I have lost 3-4 inches and my clothes, especially jeans, fit better! This was the extra... more
