I had Coolsculpting done on my love handles at the end of August and though I couldn't initially tell through my earlier before and after photos, I could definitely tell the difference in my jeans/pants. I finally took the last pics today and there is DEFINITELY a difference! I am in agreement with most reviewers on here that the love handles usually require 2 treatments especially like me if you have too much hip and a tiny waist. I'll definitely be going back to do another love handle treatment and perhaps my belly.
The doctor and staff at my clinic were just wonderful and helpful all-around as well! The procedure is uncomfortable only insofar as the first 2 minutes the suction goes on and the angle at which you have to sit for the flanks, unlike laying flat for the belly treatment. But the biggest problem I had was my foot kept falling asleep so I can't really complain.
I'd recommend this treatment to anyone who has 'problem areas' that they want to do away with safely and non-invasively.
PS. though it may not LOOK in the pics like there's much of a difference, I can assure you there is and sometimes even just smoothing out your figure can do wonders for your self-image :)

Yes, I had a single treatment for my love handles and I can honestly say that I agree with most posters on RealSelf who have done it that since I am a bit "hippy", I'll need a second treatment on them to get exactly what I want.
I don't know if I achieved my max results in this month as I chose to stop keeping track photographically after 6 weeks, but I can say that I started noticing my jeans being loose after about 10 weeks and even now they're getting looser. They say it can keep going up until 6 months, so perhaps I'll post new pics in February if I see there's any more change.
But I can say that in August I weighed 124 (give or take) and since then I made it a point to not diet or do much exercise as a way to guarantee that my results were solely based on CoolSculpting and nothing else... and even WITH the holidays, I now weigh 118-119.
I hear that the belly is always more noticeable than the love handles on a first treatment and I can only guess that it's due to the fact that most of us have much more "flab" to tighten on our pooches, whereas the "chub" on the flanks are a bit more stubborn to slim down :)
Hope this helped and please post if you decide to do a second treatment! Happy Holidays!
Thanks so much for the awesome photos! Isn't it funny how we always judge weight gain/loss by our jeans? :) That's my scale right there.
