i workout 5 times a week and cant seem to beat the pouch and love handles. i don't have the funds or time for the full tummy tuck, and i DO want more kids eventually. i heard about this, saw the results, so figured id give it a go. I did one big one on the stomach pouch area, and two smalls on the love handles. At first they did the sides, it felt like a vacuum hose sucking the fat for 45 min. after they removed the suction thing, then massaged the fat block back into the skin... that's when the burning started. It was intense.. not going to lie, it sucked bad; however .. it was only for a few minutes (about 5). At that point i did NOT want to do the tummy area. They talked me into it, and at that point i was in no pain so i went for it. The burning pain from the stomach wasn't nearly as bad as the sides; very uncomfortable and hot. Again, after around 5 min it was like nothing had happened so it was all worth it. I had a few red marks for a few days, it felt like an interior bruise for a few days, but also numb. I was definitely swollen so that was kind of depressing after spending 2k on it... but like they said 4/8 weeks for final results. after the first 7 days it got itchy at night, still is at night around the second week. I still haven't seen any results, so im kinda nervous? at least i feel back to normal without swelling though. cross your fingers and ill report back !
