I am about 5 months post treatment for bra strap and 4 months post treatment for the abdomen. My CoolSculpting results have been great and noticeable. I look much slimmer despite gaining 2 lbs post treatment. I am still planning to lose 10 more pounds. Is it safe to think that I was not affected by PAH?
