One can buy a cool sculpting machine for $3500 from China, and have it in one's home. The procedure is new so it is way overpriced. Once these cheaper machines get into the spa market the pricing should come way down.
are you serious?
go online and google Zeltiq Cool Sculpturing machines. You can buy them from many manufacturers in China. Identical technology and easy to use.
There is no way I would attempt this on myself or anybody else at home. I had it done 4 days ago. Hopefully it is the ONLY treatment I will need.

Plus, where would you store the darn thing! lol!
@ CareerMomOF2, I'm so happy for you. I can see big difference from the pictures. Tomorrow is exactly 4 weeks for me and hopping to get some results.
Thank you!! I am surprised to see results this soon, excited to see how my tummy changes over the next couple months. Hope you see results too! Keep us posted :)

Two weeks: Not much to update, luckily still have not experienced any additional pain or discomfort, no tingling, no sharp pains, numbness has completely worn off...so I feel 100% normal. I think the swelling has gone completely away as well, so now I'm just waiting to see results :-) which I know can take at a minimum of 4 weeks, so nothing much just yet!

One week update: It's been exactly one week, I have zero pain, even when I press firmly on any area of my stomach. Still swollen, but it's going down day by day, so it's nice to see change, looking forward to real results! Also, no numbness, no tingling and no sharp pains yet.

Thanks for the update. Is nice to know that not everyone has the pain. Most of the ones that post are sharing their painful experience.
You're welcome!! I honestly don't feel anything abnormal or painful at all as of now and I have yet to experience any pain that really bothered me, just mainly discomfort the few days following the procedure :-) hoping I've avoided it altogether and will continue to feel great!
