generally in good shape, but have found it harder to bounce back now that I'm in my late 30s. Office and staff immediately made me feel comfortable. I've never had anything cosmetic done before, so I was a bit anxious- but they were fantastic. Procedure lasted about 2 hours- lower abdomen. Started seeing results around week 5. Procedure was uncomfortable at first but then went numb, just as staff prepared me for. No negative after effects or temporary "freezerburn." Just a slight itchiness to skin on treatment area. Overall definitely worth the time/money - I would do it again.
Well, growing up with a more athletic or "boyish figure" as I'd sometimes been teased about, I was always craving more of an hourglass figure. I'm in the gym 4-5 days a week with hopes to tighten my waist with not much luck. That's where CoolSculpting came into play! I couldn't believe the type of results CoolSculpting produced with NO surgery. So I had a treatment done on my "love handles" to trim my waist and give me more of an hourglass shape. The staff was kind and compassionate and I didn't feel judged or pushed. They placed the two devices on both my sides at the same time and it felt pinchy and tight for about 10 mins and then when the area got really cold I went numb and relaxed while watching a movie. Over all I was sore the first week after, felt like I was bruised, and slightly numb still. By month three after my first treatment I saw results I couldn't have gotten from just crunches or cardio in the gym. A+
I can't begin to sing enough praises for Bodify. The first question everyone will have is how effective is the actual Coolsculpting procedure? I am here to tell you, it works! I had my love handles and my stomach worked on. As a guy who works out regularly, I can honestly say I am in great shape... but I couldn't seem to get rid of the last bit of fat. Coolsculpting did the trick. But, let's get past the results. The team is incredible. From start to finish and everything in between, they will make you feel comfortable, explain everything, treat you like a human being, and actually make you enjoy the experience. Oh yeah, and you'll have to check out their Mancave room... so comfortable, I didn't want to leave!
Just remember that CoolSculpting can take 2-4 months to see results. It can be difficult to be patient with the process, we are an instant gratification kind of culture! At Bodify, we bring our clients back at 4 weeks for progress photos after their CoolSculpting treatment, only about 10% of them are seeing a difference at that point, at 2 months post CoolSculpting only about 50-60% are seeing a difference. Each client will flush out the fat cells at a different rate, some as soon as 3 weeks and some of our clients take up to 5-6 months! If a Bodify client is getting a 2nd treatment on the same area within 1-2 months of their initial treatment, it is very common for them to not be seeing results from the 1st treatment when we do the 2nd. I would encourage you to have progress photos taken at your Sept 6 appointment, and go over them with your CoolSculpting expert. Many times we don't think we are seeing any results yet, but when we look at pictures we actually will be seeing a difference, we just didn't fully notice because of the slow process!
Yes, there is now a new updated CoolMax applicator and it is named the CoolAdvantage Plus. We have been using this new applicator since Jan. 2017 and are very impressed with the improved comfort level, shorter treatment duration (just 45 mins) and the fact that it covers a larger treatment area.
In Arizona, we have tank top weather nearly year round and the upper arms are a very popular area to treat. CoolSculpting can now target the upper arm fat or "bat wings" with the newly released Petite applicator. Our office has performed hundreds of upper arm CoolSculpting treatments with fantastic results.
