I think I was just treated with a CoolSculpting knockoff machine. Can you advise? (photo)

Asked By:meldiva101 in Hawthorne, AU

Today I trialled what I thought was a ZELTIQ CoolSculpting machine. I now realise I might have been treated with a knock-off, called "CoolSculpture" (pic attached). I assume the original ZELTIQ machine is superior. When they took the suction away my stomach immediately started fading down into the rest of my torso, unlike the demos I've seen where the fat stays hard protruding for a few minutes. Have I wasted my time and money? Your thoughts on the efficacy of these knockoffs?
