“Zeltiq - Perth, Australia”
Spent: $1,600 in Perth, Australia
I had my lower abdominal treated. I had the option of the smaller instrument, but they told me the larger is more effective, sometimes creating a noticeable 'ledge' on the upper that may also need to be treated later. If it works that well, I will have no issues with getting another treatment.
Pain at the time was less than anticipated, but definate tenderness and numb sensation for a couple of weeks afterwards. I am 3 weeks post zeltiq and will continue to post my results.
The photos are pre zeltiq, same day after, and 3 weeks post.

Hi its now 7.5 weeks, and I can definately feel a difference. It was something I felt more than saw at first, a wonderful tightening sensation in my lower abs. When I am driving for example, I really feel less of a gut overhang. My belly now looks and feels like I am always holding it in, even though I am not. This is proving to be exactly what they claimed, of up to 1/3rd fat reduction per treatment. I am so glad this wasnt a waste of money as I have spent thousands on gimmicky treatments that had no effect in the past. I will keep updating my pictures, as reading realself reviews made me decide on Zeltiq in the first place. Btw I am exactly the same weight (to the gram), in all these photos, and I have not done a scrap of excercise (bar house cleaning), as I really wanted to accurately monitor Zeltiqs results. Thanks for reading, good luck to all. (my skin looks a little scratched in todays pics, but its because I just woke up, they are creases from my pyjama top)

These latest pics with the denimn shorts are at 11 weeks post Zeltiq. I have also dropped 2kg (4.4lb)by simply restricing a little of what I eat, but still indulging in dessert.My weight seemed stuck at 54kgs(119pounds) for nearly a year. I was going to stay exactly the same to really see how the Zeltiq worked, but the weight loss seems to have triggered the Zeltiq effect, as I have been this new weight many times before,in my 20's but my lower tummy was always more noticeable. I really tried hard to not hold my belly in with these pics, or stretch too high, but in most of the earlier pics you will see I did have my arms folded behind my head. Even if I strain to push my belly out, there is way less, so I really persoanlly do feel the improvement, I hope my pictures reflect this, and help others make educated decisons for themselves. My last pics will be at the 4 month mark. Thanks for reading.

They were pretty good except they asked me for payment 2 weeks before the procedure. I told them I would pay on the day, it may have been a mistake, as I already had deposited $600. No massaging after the treatment,they implied the machine had a massage feature. Excellent support she stayed with me the whole time, never leaving the room once. No follow up, but that hasnt bothered me.
