I wanted to get Liposonix as a motivation...
I wanted to get Liposonix as a motivation "kick-starter" to my journey to flat stomach. I gained over 15 lbs in the last 6 months from too much drinking/eating crappy food (I'm 4'10", and was originally around 107-110lbs, now close to 125lbs!) - I started working out regularly (hot yoga x4 week) but I figured I'd get Liposonix as a "christmas gift" for myself.
Let me tell you ladies and gents -- this will be THE WORST PAIN you will ever experience in your life!!! I swear I was ready to walk away from all of the money I paid just having done 1 square. The pain was intolerable. At first, they gave me Vicodin and Valium, but after hearing me scream in pain, balling my eyes out, and shaking uncontrollably after 3 passes, they finally gave me a second dose of Vicodin/Valium and gave me 30min for that to kick in. The procedure was supposed to take 1 hour but I ended up being there for 3 hours. I would HIGHLY suggest taking the medication 45min - 60min prior to your treatment - I do want to say that pain was much more tolerable at the end of the session (they also lowered the frequency and instead of 3 passes, they did 4).
It's 2nd day and I have very minimal bruising. My stomach feels sore, like you did a ton of push ups, but not bad. I thought I would be unable to go do yoga for a week but I'm going to try to go tomorrow (day 3). I think the compression garment helps (I bought just regular old spanx from nordies).
I better see some results after 3-4 months...if not I will seriously lose it. Considering the $$$ and pain, I would NEVER EVER do it again. I think getting a top notch personal trainer and working your ass off is x1000 better than getting a "flat stomach" this way. There is seriously no such thing as easy way out!

Dr.Reichel only did the measurements/writing on my stomach. Her medical assistant, Sue was the person who gave me the treatment and she was AWESOME!!! Although the procedure itself was hellish, she was SO nice and SO patient with me throughout the treatment. Really really glad I had her to help me through this traumatic experience.
