Fairfax CoolSculpting Doctors and Reviews

“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

“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

“Easy and Totally Worth It! - Ashburn, VA”

This past March, I had Zeltiq Coolsculpting done on my love handles at Dr. Mountcastle’s office. I was pretty hesitant, because I’m a huge baby when it comes to pain. I can hardly stand needles, which is why I liked the idea of the coolsculpting so much. Even though I knew the procedure didn’t use anything sharp, I was still shaking when I went into the office, afraid that it would hurt... 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

“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

“Disappointing Results - Ashburn, VA”

Not certain if it was due to the lack of experience by my "doctor" or just the procedure itself. I had Zeltiq on my upper belly in July, and did notice results in September, but the same exact problem "bulge" is back. And no, it is not because I gained weight; I actually have lost 8 pounds since the procedure from dieting and excercise. This random tummy fat appeared about... more

“Had High Hopes, Disappointed in the...”

I work in the medical field and I put in a lot of research before deciding on the Zeltiq Cool Sculpting procedure 6.5 months ago. I was skeptical but decided that it was non invasive and had few side effects. I'm 5'7" and weigh about 140 and I've always had a pouch even though I have never had children. I was mainly concerned with the area above and below my navel. My... 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

“A Little Freaking out - Asburn, VA”

Day of treatment - procedure when the suction goes in - pretty painful - wish dr. had prepared me and explained more carefully than just you will feel uncomfortable but it will get better. It was extremely painful when it was first sucked in. Knocked the wind out of me. After 10 mins better. The shocker is when the machine was removed. No one prepared me for the sight. Wish nurse said what... more
