I have always had problems with my stomach area. I live an active lifestyle and eat well for my age however, no matter what I did I could never lose the fat on my abdomen. I also had noticeable cellulite. Coolsculpting worked amazing for me! It was a bit painful, I can't lie.... but oh so worth it! The worst pain was from the 2 minute massage once the applicator was removed. I experienced aching pain, it was not fun. I did swell and bruise up to 2 weeks post treatment. After 2 weeks I still had a slight numbing sensation to the skin, this eventually went away. I started to visibly notice results after 4 weeks, it's like I woke up one morning and was 2 sizes smaller. After 8 weeks it was even better! I am planning on having 2-4 more cycles completed, preferably on my upper abdomen under my breasts where I have 2 small buldges still. Cant wait to update my results after that treatment!
