First State Aesthetics - Newark

Hi everyone! I figured I’d start out with a little bit about me. I’m a 34 y/o mom of 4. From 2015-2016 I worked hard to lose 40-50 lbs. Was left with loose, saggy everything lol! So in Feb 2017 I had a mommy makeover which consisted of a tummy tuck with muscle repair, Lipo to the flanks, and breast lift with implants. I shared my experience here on RS and about a month after my surgery I was asked to be a RealFriend. I’m so glad I said yes b/c now we are being offered 2 complimentary treatments of Sculpsure through the RealFriend program. After having my mommy makeover I now notice other areas that I’m unhappy with...it figures right?! Women! Lol! I’ve been working out really hard for 6 months now doing P90X. However my inner thighs and flank area have some extra fat that hasn’t seemed to change. Hoping Sculpsure can help these problem areas. I had my consult 1 week ago and met with Celeste. She was so kind and put me at ease. She showed me the machine and described the treatment and aftercare in detail. She also showed me before and afters of actual clients of hers. The office was quiet, clean, and the rest of the staff was friendly. Great communication too. I go tomm morning for my first treatment-inner thighs and flanks. Wish me luck :) I received this complimentary treatment through the RealFriends program. Updated on 13 Jul 2018: Here are some before pics. I have 2 dents on my flanks that I’m hoping to smooth out. And jiggly fat pocket things on my inner thighs that I’m hoping will shrink a little after treatment Updated on 13 Jul 2018: So today I received my first treatment of Sculpsure. It wasn’t unbearable but it definitely hurt more than I thought it would. First you feel a cool sensation, then from there it’s hot and crampy. The best way I can describe it is I felt like I was in labor all over again lol! You feel pain, then relief, and it follows that pattern. There is also an option for a “cool blast” which gives some relief as well. Celeste did the best to make me comfortable too. Cold packs, aromatherapy, pillows, and distracting me with conversation haha! I’m a little sore but not too bad. Feels like a bruise. No redness or marks are on my skin after treatment. I came home and did my workout and took my kids swimming, so no down time which was nice. I’m supposed to massage the area twice a day as well and can take Tylenol only for pain. Updated on 17 Jul 2018: Hi there! Just wanted to leave a quick update. So I’m 4 days post treatment and wanted to share my experience so far. I have very minimal pain. The treated areas feel like a bruise and don’t hurt unless I touch them. I haven’t had to use any medication for pain either. I was instructed to massage the areas for 5 min twice a day. When I do I use a firming lotion b/c I figured it can’t hurt ;) I was told I may feel lumps and that was due to fat clumping together. This has only happened to my left inner thigh. I was told to massage the lump and it would smooth out, which I have found to be true. My left inner thigh feels smoother for sure! Not including pics today b/c there is no change yet. I’m not even swollen. It can take up to 12 weeks to see results and 2 treatments are recommended for best results. I go for my second treatment Aug 17. Updated on 31 Jul 2018: So it’s been 2.5 weeks since treatment one. Overall I feel fine! Was a little sore for those first 2 weeks but that was to be expected. Was having an issue with a lump in my left inner thigh. I would massage (which hurt ouch!) and it would flatten out and the next morning it would be there again. Happy to say it’s finally getting smaller and going away yay! Posting some updated pics too! Not seeing much of a difference in my legs but I am in my flanks. The dents are minimizing woo hoo! I know I need to give it 12 weeks though so hopefully my thighs will change too! Next treatment is in a couple weeks so I’ll be sure to let you guys know how it goes :) Updated on 17 Aug 2018: Hey guys! So today was my second treatment for Sculpsure. Just like last time, Celeste was fabulous! She had everything ready to go when I arrived. Since it was painful last time I was prepared for pain lol! I have to say though, yes it was still uncomfortable, but not as bad as last time. Celeste makes you comfortable, has aromatherapy to calm, and ice packs around the treatment areas help too. I was also given a little goodie bag today too! Can’t say enough good things about First State Aesthetics :) After my treatment I’m sore as expected. Nothing severe though. I came home and did my P90X workout without a problem. I will continue to massage the area twice a day with my skin firming lotion. I have my final appointment for pictures in 12 weeks. Can’t wait to see my final results :) Updated on 18 Oct 2018: Hi all! Just wanted to post a quick update. I’ll be 9 weeks post treatment tomm. Seeing slight differences so far. You can see the dents in my flanks are fading. My inner thighs I don’t see much of a difference, but I feel a difference. Giving it the full 12 weeks for my final opinion. I also go back to the office for official 12 week photos which I will def share with you. Nothing new to report. The lumps I had early on are gone. There was no down time so I continued to exercise and live my everyday routine :) Updated on 26 Dec 2018: Hello and happy holidays! I know I’m late but just wanted to post my before and afters from the treatment center at the 13 week mark post second treatment. The changes aren’t dramatic, but any tiny bit of fat disappearing is awesome in my opinion lol! For my inner thigh pics, if you look at the “thigh gap” area you’ll notice how my thighs look thinner. For my flank area you can see how I look a little curvier from slight fat reduction. I made sure to maintain the same weight from beginning to end as well.
