I had my upper abdomen treated with the larger applicator.

As the applicator was applied, it really took my breath away. I remember asking "Are my guts in there?!" because that's really how it felt! It didn't hurt, but it was a little disorienting. I had some anxiety at first, but calmed down pretty quickly. After that, I just relaxed for the rest of the hour.

I did experience quite a bit of numbness and itching for about 12-14 days afterwards. There were two nights that I had a little trouble sleeping from some of the skin cramping, but I took some advil and was fine.

I'm about two months out from my procedure and I'm pleased with my results. I'm looking forward to treating my lower abdomen later!

Great review?
