After reading all the reviews on it I still decided to do it. I had it done yesterday to my abdomen ad love handles. The love handles were a piece of cake the abdomen was a little tougher but I did not have much discomfort it did feel like I could not breathe for a few minutes but that passed. It wiped me out I was exhausted for the rest of the day and had numbing slight discomfort.

**I am not going to post for a few days unless something substantial happens**
The reason why I am posting everyday is before I had the procedure done I read horror stories of pain discomfort not being able to work or workout, and I just wanted to catalog my experience since it has been all good since the procedure.

So far so good....lost an inch but they told me 4 to 8 weeks it has only been three...so still waiting for the max results to appear, but all in all it was well worth the money and I feel it was better than getting Smart Lipo done.
Great review?

I loved the office I found them on google and went to have a consult with this doctor and a few others and this one was the best, mostly women and they made you feel comfortable.

You and I had the same areas treated (I did mine on the 26th of December) and so far - no pain or itching. I feel like I'm still a little swollen and definitely mildly numb - but have not had any other issues at all. Other than I feel like I have been overeating a bit due tot he holidays- I am ready to work all of that off in the New Year. Looking forward to reading your results. My only concern is that I like the places (like yours) that consulted with you. I did go to a nationally reknown doctor's clinic - but did not see him. The gals that did my procedures were not RN's or even clinicians. One was a Medical Assistant and the other two the doctor had trained them, but it sounded like they did a lot of administration work as well as cool sculpting. This procedure is not all that clinical - but I was a little dissatisfied to pay this kind of money and to have the administrative assistant doing my procedure. But, hey - if it works - it works.

Keep me posted....I did overeat over the holidays, maybe not the best time to have gotten it done....but excited to see results hopefully We should both see something within two weeks now....I have my fingers crossed for both of us.

Thanks for posting your experience. Can you share who your doctor was? I live in the Chicago area and researching docs. Thanks!

It was not performed by a doctor, what I have learned is the machine used and technique used are pretty much the same, go where you feel comfortable and has the right price for you....the office I went to is Center for Cosmetic and Laser surgery 630/851/3223....hope this helps
