I have been having extensive "cool sculpting done since September. I have done my upper back in four sides twice, my lower stomach twice, my upper stomach once, my inner thighs once, my love handles once (and again tomorrow). I had severe scoliosis and my nurse practitioner and my dermatologist have been helping me "lengthen" my torso. I have lost eight pounds. The downside is I suffer severe nerve pain for three minutes and there is nothing that can stop this pain. I know it is the "thawing" of the process and the heat of towels help me to go through it along with massage the area, praying, and walking until the three minutes pass. The entire office knows I go through this and they have been wonderful. Updated on 3 Jan 2014: Did my upper ab, left back, and right waist. Each area I am doing for a second time.

I will be going for my first Miradry treatment in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to some relief. I've had extreme sweatting under my arms since I was in my early teens. My whole life has been trying to hide the problem and worried that people hugging me would feel a wet shirt and be grossed out. I thought about the surgery but was so very happy to see this latest non-invasive procedure become available. I hope to gain more confidence and bbe able to wear normal clothes again. I find the reviews posted to be very helpful in my decision.
