So I’ve been deciding on other ways to get rid of stubborn mommy fat that I’ve had for now almost 6 years since I’ve had my youngest. Hopefully this turns into an awesome experience. I’m going to try to go local area that offers the SculpSure. But I’ll keep everyone updated and I’ll upload photos later on before and aftersI received this complimentary treatment through the RealFriends program. Updated on 28 Jun 2018: I finally scheduled a consult for July 13th. I’m so excited for this. I’ll be seeing Vanessa at aesthetics of ocala. We’ll see what happens, I’ll post before and after photos. Updated on 1 Jul 2018: I want to show you my before of the area I want to have treated and then I’ll do a after the procedure! Updated on 13 Jul 2018: Hey RealSelf friends! Having my consult this morning for the SculpSure procedure for my lower tummy! I’m so excited and nervous all at the same time. My stomach has always been a problem area for me. But after having two babies it kinda got worse. I’ll let everyone how it goes today after seeing Vanessa at Advanced Aesthetics MED Spa! Updated on 14 Jul 2018: Yesterday I went for consult with Vanessa with Advanced aesthetics MED spa in Ocala. And the office is so warm and inviting that you don’t even feel nervous. The receptionist was so sweet and When I met Vanessa she was just so nice. She brought me back to the room where the SculpSure is preformed and explained everything. She looked at my lower abdomen and she’s going to do my lower abdomen up to my belly button so the area will be even. She even placed the blocks on me to be sure it will be sufficient enough for what we’re trying to accomplish. She let me know that the difference between SculpSure and cool sculpting is that heat is used to target the fat areas and pretty much heat them up to destroy the fat cells and then cools the area and it cycles between the two over 25 minutes. I’m so excited. Scheduled for the procedure 8/3 for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes and then go back for second session later. I’ll try to record the procedure so everyone can see it for themselves. :-) Updated on 26 Jul 2018: So I got a call from Vanessa at Advanced Aesthetics Med Spa and she needed to reschedule my procedure date. Soooo it’s happening TOMORROW!!!!! I’m so excited and nervous all at once. I’m going to have a friend come with me so we can document it via video hopefully unless I’m not allowed then I’ll update it here. But keep in the flow of positive vibes ladies. Because this is about to happen!!!! :-) Updated on 27 Jul 2018: Hey everyone I’m here! Updated on 30 Jul 2018: I tried to upload the video of Vanessa explaining the procedure but it wouldn’t let me for some reason which makes me sad. But the treatment was very simple. The photos is her doing the second section of my stomach. The heat was comfortably uncomfortable it got hot for about 30 secondhand then quickly cooled down and that process lasted about 25 minutes. After the procedure she said that I needed to massage the areas regularly because of it causing some lumpy areas. And I couldn’t take any ibuprofen just Tylenol for pain and I cold use ice packs to help with any swelling. I feel like I’ve had a good abdominal workout and only had two places that were lumpy. But I haven’t noticed a change yet. I have my second treatment in 6 weeks. I will upload abdominal photos later so you can see. Updated on 9 Aug 2018: Slowly going down. I’m very much so impressed with this so far. Can’t wait to go back for my next procedure with Vanessa. Updated on 31 Aug 2018: Hey RealFriends, I had my final session with Vanessa at Advanced Aesthetics MED Spa today. And we progressed on the level of what the machine gives. I went up all the way on both parts of my abdominal area. And boy am I feeling it more this time then last time. Again I ant have any anti inflammatory meds and have to drink plenty of water. And massage, massage massage. Good thing we have a long weekend! Short video attached so you can see the machine! I still wasn’t able to recover my last video of Vanessa speaking and didn’t get a chance to ask her again. Updated on 7 Sep 2018: Hey everyone, So this photo is roughly about a week from last treatment I had. No pain after the 3rd day but was a little uncomfortable. I used a heating pad to help soothe. I was very lumpy this go around and I have slight ones still there but I just keep massaging them out and drinking Lots of water. But other then that I’ve been doing just great. Still looks a bit puffy but it’ll go away. Still sticking to a good diet and light exercise as well. :-) Updated on 8 Oct 2018: Hey Real Loves, Hope everyone is doing amazing on this wonderful Monday and had a great day! I’m one month post treatment since my second treatment. No real change that I have noticed except that my upper part of my tummy above my navel is smoother and flat but my bottom is still a bit puffy. Not bad though. Vanessa said it would take 12 weeks to see full on results. I noticed about two lumps I have and I’ve been trying to massage them out and definitely drink tons of water but only time and patience will tell more. If you deciding on having the treatment done I would recommend it as a non-invasive way to get rid of stubborn fat in the abdominal area. Like I said can’t see full results but I’m not as fluffy as I use to be. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a comment or a message. Have a great night RealFriends and Happy Healing! Updated on 2 Nov 2018: Hey loves, I wanted to give an update on my progress from my last treatment. All the lumps are gone thank goodness. And my belly isn’t nearly as pooch out as it was. I’m sure it’s still going down more. Definitely helped with the bit of cellulite I had on the paper tummy area that I noticed above my belly button. But all in all it’s smoothed out some. No pain at all and still trying to drink lots of water.
