To date, I have had coolsculpting done on my muffin top, stomach and backs of thighs. I have had incredible results on my muffin top and stomach! It's still to early to tell with my thighs and I've been told the results aren't as dramatic. The applicatior they use is different, it's flat, instead of the suction cup. For me, the cold sensation was way more intense on my thighs, then on the other areas I had treated. You basically go numb after the first 5 or so minutes and it's easy peasy, until..... The suction device comes off and the not so much fun part begins. The damn massage, oy.. Let's you know you're alive and can still feel discomfort. It's only for a few minutes (long minutes) then it's over. Please note, this process can make you feel some nausea but it passes. For me, the results far outweigh the discomfort. I was swollen and sore for about a week. As soon as swelling went down, I was already seeing results! My Doctor did say, my results happened quicker then most peoples normally do ( why, I couldn't tell you). I would absolutely, most definitely would do it again. Look into all the different options out there before jumping in. Not every thing, works for every body so do your homework first! I hope this was helpful to you in some way and good luck with whatever you decide to do! I will post pics as soon as I get the "before" photos!
