“Great results after just 2 weeks...”

Cool Lipo: Worth it

Cost: $8,000
Pain: Mild
Cool Lipo satisfaction: Excellent5 Star Rating: Excellent

After reading lots of reviews, I was lucky enough to find that the best doctor for this procedure is just 20 minutes from where I live. My procedure included love handles, stomach and flanks (back). At 5'8" and 165, my BMI was well within range but all of my fat was concentrated around my middle area.

You are awake for the entire procedure. I was worked on for 5 hours! It consisted of a quick local anathesia, followed by injecting 1200 cc (over the 5 hours) into my various areas; apply laser heat to melt the fat; sucking the fat and some of the liquid out; heating again at a different wave length to tighten the skin; and then checking the area again for more of this to ensure as much fat as possible is removed, the area is smooth, and there are not big lumps. I was swollen when I left because they estimated I still have 950 cc of liquid in me that would need to leave "naturally."

I went back to work 2 days later working a compression garment. People immediately noticed the difference without knowing why. 2 weeks later, pants are now comfortable and it is clear that I have lost quite abit -- even though I have 3+ months to see full results.

I started doing light work outs just a week later and today have started doing regular, more intense work outs. You do need to exercise after you are done, including ab work outs, to get the most from the procedure. I will post before and after pics in July or August.
