I tried coolsculpting in the past on my lower abs and inner thighs but to be honest it did not work well. Those areas have such a high fat percentage I'd say you're better off doing liposuction if you want to see actual results. I must have been out of my mind to want to try it again after so much money wasted the first time, but I vehemently avoid needles whenever possible. My logic was this area is such a smaller more condensed area surely I would be able to see actual results? It's been exactly one month and I do believe I see a difference. They say full results are not shown until three to six months out, but even with these results I am still satisfied for having only one treatment done. The actual procedure felt like the first two times I did my abs and inner thighs. They place a gel under your chin before applying the suction wand. You'll go rather numb within 5-8 minutes. Personally I tolerate the cold very well so this wasn't uncomfortable for me at all. 45 minutes later they'll remove the suction wand and do a brief 2 minute massage. Majority I have read said it's painful but for all my areas done in the past and now it has never been painful. Sometimes it mildly feels relaxing for me, but again I tolerate cold and pain very well. I had minor swelling the following four days but the numbness still persists post one month. They say it's normal and it doesn't interfere with anything so I've ignored it. I booked a follow up session in January to see if I can remove that small little fat pad remaining. Of course it has not been the full three to six months of results from the first session but a second one post five weeks is acceptable. Let's hope I can continue to see results!
I've had stubborn belly fat ever since I can remember but it wasn't a big problem, however it got worse after having a baby. He is now 5 and I feel like I've tried everything and lost some weight but the stubborn fat was always still there. Anyway...to the review! I had 6 areas done in one sesh (upper and lower abs, flanks). The first ten minutes was very uncomfortable borderline painful but not really..then it starts to go numb and you feel like you could take a nap. The massage wasn't too bad afterwards, stings a little but you're still very much numb. I left 5 hours later very very sore for a couple days. Ive been drinking a lot of water a day and massaging the areas on my own. I've also worn my waist trainer just because the compression feels good on the sore areas and the nurse said it would help with my results. Its been only 1 week and a few days and my husband even noticed a big difference in my silhouette, which is exciting because I did too but I thought it was just my head. Its nice to know you have 3 months to see final results and Im already experiencing them, I cant wait to see the progress. I will post before and after on my 3 month mark for best comparison. Updated on 28 Feb 2021: The change I saw was my own diet and exercising. Got my second round and didn’t make a difference at all. Scheduled my awak lipo appointment and ironically it costs about the same. I cringe at the amount of money I wasted and am still paying off. The location didn’t help at all when I voiced my concerns they turned cold.
I have been going to laser away since 2017. After moving to Anaheim I started visiting this location and it is a mess. My last full body hair removal treatment went wrong. I informed the manager and contacted Laser Away main office ( multiple times) regarding the problem and all they say the Director will call me back and, it has been 5 days , no call back. They have not even sent me follow up rate your treatment email. I guess, when things are good, all is good. But, when something is wrong, you are on your own. Taking my business to Ideal Image. Update. Someone named Brian from corporate office finally called me and I wish he did not! I don't know why they let him call paying customers because he has no customer service skills whatsoever. He was talking over me, raised his voice on a few occasions trying to convince it that is totally acceptable that my 90 minute treatment took only 35 minutes because maybe different laser was used. No, Brian. I have done many treatments on that laser in that room many times. OMG! I ended up hanging up on him because his attitude was plain disrespectful. He completely dismissed all my concerns. What kind of customer service is that?
