So I've always been fit but I've always had a muffin top…even when I was skinny. Now that I'm 26 my muffing top is more pronounced since I'm heavier. So I went to the Zeltiq website and searched for a doctor that did this procedure near where I live. Looooved his establishment. It's a spa like environment.

Procedure- the doctor marks the areas you want treated then they put this reaaaally cold gel sheet like thing on that area. they attach the machine and as they turn it on, your fat roll is sucked in gently by the machine. There's only a mild discomfort for the first couple of minutes, then you don't notice it anymore.

It takes an hour per site treated. They had a huge flat screen 46 inch flat screen and blu ray player to watch movies while you hooked up to the machine. So you won't be bored, or you can even fall asleep. After an hour they go to your next site.

The only pain I felt was after they unhook you….the site is almost frozen…and starts hurting as it's
"defrosting"…i did get some mild bruising…it looked like a hickey….but the pain subsided on each side after about 10 min. You can do as many sites in one day as you want…or all willing to do since it is an hour each. I did 1 on each side of my love handle and going back tuesday to get 2 more on the back side of my love handles. So 4 total.

I can't wait to start seeing results, especially since i'm running and exercising….so hopefully the results are even better.

I will post before pictures soon…and will definitely post after pics when

****rated undecided because I won't see results for a couple of months****

Hi Marilicious -- Thanks for sharing your experience so far. How are you doing today? Any pain?

Hello-

No there is no pain…just numbness. The doctor said the numbness temporary but may last for a couple of weeks.


I go in for the back side of my love handles on tuesday. I can't wait.

That's a good question! I've posted it to our Doctor Q&A forum here: http://www.realself.com/question/coolsculpting-double-chin

Hopefully they will stop by and share their thoughts too.

How are you doing? are you having the results you had hoped for?i just had mm and still have a little fat in flanks this sounds like a good alternative?

i was wondering if you have seen a reduction in waist or hip size as a result of treatment? I am hoping to loose an inch or two that are a result of the lower belly pouch and I can't find anyone who has said if they lost inches...
