The only thing i wish was explained more in depth tho this varies from patient to patient is the post healing process- esp the itching- that was uncomfortable for a while there but i am still happy i did it bc i am seeing the progress now.

I can see a big difference.
Hmm - middle aged now, thought I'd try some of these new treatments to counteract aging on my once size 2 model body (5'6). Tried CoolSculpting AND Excelis. NOT impressed with either 2 months later. And don't let 'em convince you either are painless procedures. Hard to get comfortable at all for "love handles" area and felt like my guts were getting sucked out. One hour each side and I practically had a panic attack. I don't east fats, desserts, I'm just not 20, 30 or 40-something anymore. My husband is older and was convinced by doctor's staff that he could get rid of considerable belly fat with CoolSculpting. He eats small meals, doesn't drink a lot (of beer, soda, any of the *usuals*) and we sign absolutely NO sign of improvement. We just bought some excercise equipment for at home use. I think that will do more for us than either CoolSculpting or Exelis (which hurt like hell!). There ARE great aging treatments out there that take time but are subtle. I don't think CoolSculpting or Excelis are amongst them. Think the medical (beauty) profession has found more to do with keeping/upgrading your facial care. My guess is that this new procedure from England now being touted here should be taken with a grain of salt until there are PLENTY of good results in. Thousands of $$$'s are being spent here. I know peope who regret they wasted that money and didn't just go for the newest versions of regular Lipo. Methinks too many procedures are being approved here to rapidly and because they are less expensive than the tried and true ones (that DO have down time) people are rushing in and cosmetic doctors just keep getting richer. Stick with exercise for your body, good diet & minimal stuff for face (i.e., moderate fillers).
I agree with you Miss Charlotte. I had CoolSculpting done in December, upper and lower abs, and there is little difference. That's alot of money down the drain. I would not recommend this to anyone.
I am leaning to agreeing- a gym membership is better in the long run
It's now in October, I think I look the same but looking back and re-evaluating the process- there is little difference after the procedure. What it will come down to is basically changing your diet and exercise. I get a lot more results from that for sure when I decided later to invest in personal training. If I should give advice on this after my procedure- yes you will see a small change- but for the money- I would stick to investing in a gym membership with personal training bc you will get far more effective results along with a choosing healthier meals. Call me old fashion but I tried this to see what the hype was and yes very little change for the money indeed that I could have used for a good vacation- ha!

Well - my 60 day's here now....not sure if i am looking any different as it would seem that i saw most of my change in the first 30 days. The important thing is i look and feel less "pudgy" I am starting to do more cardio and mixing it up at the gym with boxing and work out bands etc so am hoping in the next 30 days to see some change there.

Well as promised, here are my pics at day 30 today- What do you think? i noticed the I've lost weight as well and i am thinking its coming from the mid-sections as i am slowly trimming down.
I can totally see a difference! Looking forward to having mine done in a few weeks!
Thanks man- yea i can see it and feel the difference in my body for sure. The worse of it is the internal itching as the body starts the healing process.
Did you have it done? just updated my 60 days

Looking good! I can definitely see a difference, better shape and more defined.

thanks Kristy :) yea i was looking at them too and can def see a slimmer more defined look. Two more months to go!
I had my flanks (Love Handles) done ten days ago and and my lower belly done three days ago. I hope to see the same results you have. TY for posting
I just updated with my 60 day progress. Prob not too much change but you can maybe see some- i think the greatest change was within the 1st 30 days
