This week I had my upper abdomen done again in an effort to get my upper abs to match my lowers. They did a double treatment on my upper; they used the small applicator twice, once on each side with a little overlap in the middle. It feels to me like they got more of a draw this time, so I'm hopeful about the results.

These ratings are all based on my experience to date. Lots of credit goes to the doctor's assistant, Kelli, who did all the actual work. These may change as my experience progresses. I've changed my rating about after care and responsiveness because I haven't heard a single word from the clinic since I had this done. At the two month mark I would have expected a phone call or something.

Hi, how did this second procedure go? I had my lower belly done in the same salon four months ago with great results so had my upper belly done last Wednesday, I had two applicators on the upper but unfortunately I am in serious pain now with the nerve endings, didn't get it first time. Hope it passed soon. The things we do for beauty eh
hi, did it finally work out for you? I'm looking at going to vibe as well and i wanted to know how your result turned out. Thanks for the updates btw :)
Hi, I've read all your posts. Would love to see a before and after photo. I'm thinking of having the lower and upper abs done. So I assume the cost of the treatment only includes one treatment and not a second treatment if needed? I picked up a brochure from the Bedford Salon yesterday. Do you mind me asking how much it cost? I did hear about $2000. But not sure if that is just for the abdomen or abdomen and love handles. Hope you got the results the 2nd time around.

So today I went for my three-month check in. They took the after pictures so we could compare, and, as I already posted, my lower abdomen really has responded amazingly well, but my upper abdomen hasn't done much. By their measurements I have had some response in the upper, but the lower has sucked in so much it makes the upper look big. So, idiot that I am, I've signed up for a second treatment on the upper. If I get a better response this time, I'll be happy with the procedure, but still ashamed of the cost.

This Wednesday will be the two month mark, and so far I'm not thrilled with the results. My lower abdomen has responded nicely. They used the large device on that area. It's fairly flat and tight now. However, my upper abdomen, the one they used the small device on, has done nothing at all. I see no change. And with the lower abdomen down, that make the upper look bigger. Maybe a miracle will happen in the next month to change my mind, but so far I deeply regret doing this procedure. I could have spent that money in many other ways.
