Love this treatment! I decided to get my treatments on my belly to slim down a little for my wedding to follow 3 months later. I had 9 treatments done over the course of 2 days. The suction from the machine takes your breath away for a moment but after the first 3 minutes the area goes numb and you feel nothing. The two weeks following the areas felt a little numb. There was one night I experienced shooting pain in my lower abdominal area. Motrin did not help the pain but ironically ice packs did. After that one night if pain everything got a lot easier. I started to see results a month later. Two months later I could see a significant reduction in my waist line. By three months I felt like I even had some definition in my stomach area- whereas before I was very round. Full results were not seen until closer to the 6 month mark. I decided to go in for another round of treatments because there were a few areas I felt could be better with another round. Over the course of the year I lost 5 pounds- so no dramatic weight loss - but some excellent results in fat reduction and shape.

Dr. Rao oversaw my procedure- but Mary was my service provider and she was excellent! She is a really nice lady and makes the treatment process fun! The facility took great care of me and I plan on coming here if I have any future needs. They really worked with me to make me feel comfortable with everything from- scheduling an appointment, to adjusting my pillows during treatments.
