Before and 2.5 month pic collage - Wow!!

WORTH IT

This picture shows just how massive the change has been!

To say I'm rapt is an understatement!! Best money I've ever spent on myself..

I highly recommend this procedure to anyone with a stubborn area of body fat.

Is this after one treatment?
Sure is!
Large applicator on upper and lower abdomen.
You look amazing! Just had my upper lower abs and flanks. I’m super swollen after day 2. Was that the case for you? If so, ow long did the swelling and soreness last?
I was definitely tender for the first 3-4 days, mainly when I sat too long or when I was giving myself a massage.
Keep the massages up, though.. They hurt a bit, but they're so worth it!
The swelling went up and down, was worse the first few days, then my upper abs flared up again a couple of weeks later.
My upper abs have seen the best results, though. Inflammation is a good thing, it means your fat cells are dying.

I got nerve pain about a week afterwards which lasted another week.
Nothing I wouldn't put up with again for the results. In fact I'm going to get my lower abs done again along with my flanks.

Good luck, the waiting part is the hardest!
I’ve read stories where people stomachs remained swollen even after 6 weeks. I’m super nervous.
I've gone back to get my flanks done and as planning another session on my lower abs.
It really isn't that bad, not for the results.
Hope that helps!
Amazing!! Thank you for posting this! I am three weeks in now and can’t say I see any changes as yet, although the swelling is completely gone I’d say....but seeing your results has me super excited :
Hi there, how have you found it now? Some people seem to get results a few months in.
Hope it went well!

So happy with how my pooch has flattened out! I look and feel so much better in my clothes, now!
I still have loose skin, which I knew would happen, some of that will tighten, but I'll always have a little. But I'm so much more confident after fixing the mummy tummy roll.
Finally my tummy matches the rest of my body!

I am thinking of getting my lower abs and possibly my flanks done, too.

So I'm seeing some amazing results coming along very quickly!
Every morning I can grab far less fat in my upper and lower abs..
I still think I might need another go on my lower abs and possibly my flanks, the sides are still a bit fatty, but I'm waiting until the three month mark to see.

I also must say I'm only just this week getting back into yoga, weights and running after having a crazy work schedule plus being injured. So this has all been from the coolsculpting!
Hoping I can tone and build muscle in time for summer!

This is the first time in years I've felt confident enough to wear a bikini on public, so looking forward to going swimwear shopping!

Wow what great results! Thank you so much for posting your journey :) Did you just do one session per area? I ask because on also did my lower and upper abdominal and saw no results at all :( The doctor tried to tell me I needed to do more sessions - but since it didn't work the first time, why would at drop another $2300?
Oh no! How long ago did you have the treatment?

I had the large applicator top and bottom, just one session.
I think I'll need another session on my lower abs, possibly the flanks too.
I'll post more pics tomorrow for my 2 and a half weeks post
I only did the one session with the large applicator top and bottom.
A lot of people have onky seen changes the last couple of weeks, though. So hang in there, it might all drop off quickly!
