Today, March 20th. I've been anticipating this now for 3 weeks. A little apprehensive after reading some of you bloggers here, but had to find out for myself. I had 3 treatment areas. Abdomen, Love Handles and Back. The abdomen was considered one treatment, both love handles - one treatment and the bra line - both sides, one treatment. Each treatment, one hour. I was weighed, pictures taken and the process began. Each treatment felt a little different, the abdomen far worse, bigger area. And when I say worse, just pinched a little more, you just have to breath through it for a couple minutes and then the pinch goes away. I really never felt the cold, I went numb fairly quick. I took 3 advil before I started. It's been 10 hours now and beside being a little numb, I have no pain. I do have bruising, and that happened instantly. I'm headed to bed now and I anticipate no pain tomorrow. I'm trying to be very positive about it, not sitting around waiting for pain to happen, just going on living life. I am a nurse and I'm active and have no down time for pain. I'm anxious for the days ahead to see results!! I will keep you all posted. I will add photo's soon.

Day 3: No pain at all, areas are sensitive to touch..... Just tenderness. No swelling to speak of. I have taken no pain medication at all and Ive slept like a baby. Keep moving forward.

End of first week. I now am starting to feel the numbing subside a bit. Very few little twingy pains, nothing that would require tylenol and advil. Mostly just a little annoying at times. I did end up with a little swelling, but nothing too visible I felt I had to hide. (thankfully I wear scrubs since I'm a nurse, so my clothes fit a little more loose than if I had an office job and had to dress up). I've continued to sleep well and I've not had to adjust my life at all. I will come back at 1 month to update unless if something arrises that I should let you all know. Happy Sculpting!!

Well, it's been just about a month and I'm starting to see results. Let's back up here though for the last 3 weeks. I really never experienced any pain, I had no issues sleeping. The most annoying was the numbness/tingling and that it pretty much gone. As far as results, right now I can really tell a big difference in my back and can feel the difference in my love handles and tummy. I was told it would be 4 months until maximum results, so for those of you ready to throw in the towel after a month, give it some more time. Will check back in after my 9 weeks check up and will post my result pictures then.
