Absolutely Worth It - Delray Beach, FL

Hi Abbit,

Yes, I had a single treatment for my love handles and I can honestly say that I agree with most posters on RealSelf who have done it that since I am a bit "hippy", I'll need a second treatment on them to get exactly what I want.

I don't know if I achieved my max results in this month as I chose to stop keeping track photographically after 6 weeks, but I can say that I started noticing my jeans being loose after about 10 weeks and even now they're getting looser. They say it can keep going up until 6 months, so perhaps I'll post new pics in February if I see there's any more change.

But I can say that in August I weighed 124 (give or take) and since then I made it a point to not diet or do much exercise as a way to guarantee that my results were solely based on CoolSculpting and nothing else... and even WITH the holidays, I now weigh 118-119.

I hear that the belly is always more noticeable than the love handles on a first treatment and I can only guess that it's due to the fact that most of us have much more "flab" to tighten on our pooches, whereas the "chub" on the flanks are a bit more stubborn to slim down :)

Hope this helped and please post if you decide to do a second treatment! Happy Holidays!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't done my belly area, but I can say that Dr. Allenby in Delray Florida did my love handles and 2 months in, there's a real difference... so if you're ever in South Florida, I can vouch for that clinic. Thanks for the heads-up though, I'll be sure to avoid Dr. Dover's clinic.

Hi Josephina,

I wonder if you would be comfortable telling me if you went to see Dr. Karen Dover in Ottawa. I have done Zeltiq before in Delray Beach Florida while visiting my sister, but I live in Montreal and was considering driving to Ottawa to have it done at Dr. Dover's clinic. But if I know someone has had a bad experience there, I'd probably decide to wait until my next trip to FL to do a second treatment. Thanks and sorry it didn't work for you :(

Hey Natasha, who did you go see? I went to see Dr. Allenby on Linton Blvd. and her team was just so great!

Hi Kate, That's really terrible, I did my lovehandles about 2 months ago and I'm really noticing a difference. When I inquired at the doctor's office about the efficacy of doing Zeltiq on the inner thighs, I was told there was not a lot of success in that area yet but they would tell me if and when a new suction head was available specifically for thighs. Your doctor really should have been honest with you about it and you might have gotten your money's worth on a different area of your body.
