I don’t feel like the peel did anything to lighten my pigmentation. It did make my skin feel softer, but other than that the 1st treatment didn’t do much. I wish the cost wasn’t as high, as I’m on the fence to splurge on another treatment or two to see if it works better.
There was a debacle with financing. Lender and Bella Medspa did not communicate with instructions to apply. Bella Medspa failed to provide the link but the lender assisted over the phone. I got CoolSculpting on June 26; four $600 applicators in the abdomen in a diamond shape. I experienced the same as others, pain during massaging and tingling and numbness until about week 4. I think I am seeing results, it changes every day. Sometimes I feel skinny and sometime not. Depends on how much wine I had :-) I am 5' 2". I started at 127 lbs got down to 123 lbs and currently at 126 lbs so it fluctuates. I know that weight loss was not to be expected. I am still debating whether I want to go for more treatment(s), I most likely will. I was told 12 weeks for full results so it might even get more noticeable! Updated on 6 Sep 2018: I failed to provide my age. I am 55 years old and I rarely exercise except for mowing three properties. I'm still waiting for huge results which I don't think I'll get. Still debating on whether to get more. I'll see what they say when I go back in mid-September for my follow up. This reviewer received a gift card from RealSelf in exchange for their review.
