Cool Mini, Great Experience.

Hello, I wanted to take the time to do a review on Cool Mini. I had this procedure done on 8/7/18 at Annapolis Plastic Surgery, which is located in the Sajak building at Anne Arundel medical center. I want to first say that I never do reviews, but the service provided here was world class and the office was very clean, so I wanted to do a quick write up. I first met with Dr. Ambro and discussed my concerns, He was extremely knowledgeable and didn’t try to sell me on expensive stuff I didn’t need. I ended up choosing to do the MiniCool for a problem area under my chin. Today I had the pleasure of working with LeeAnn Berman, (the Aesthetic Nurse) who has been doing cool sculpting since 2012. Now I’ve read a lot of reviews leading up to this procedure on this very site that can really cast a lot of fear on MiniCool. I suffer from anxiety so I know first hand how the mind can really run off with this stuff. First, fear comes from the unknown, should I trust an online review? Or should I trust the medical professionals who have hospital access? A lot of my anxiety and fears were really diminished after the LeeAnn put my worries to rest. So, did it hurt? I would say it feels uncomfortable at first as the area starts to cool, but shortly goes numb within the first 5 Minuets. The discomfort is really just about being cold than it is about pain, it’s more of an annoyance than anything. For the next 40 mins you can watch Netflix on their large tv while bundled up, gives a new meaning to Netflix and chill LOL. During this time you aren’t aloud to speak or move so the machine doesn’t lose suction. Every 10 mins or so LeeAnn would come by to make sure I was ok, but I had a buzzer for her incase I needed her immediately. Now that I had finished the treatment it was time for the machine to come off and here’s where people say it’s the most painful. They have to massage the area right after pulling the machine off and it’s uncomfortable. The best way to describe this is like rubbing a scrape. (Less pain than getting a tattoo) Now this did sting but here’s the thing, it only lasts for maybe 3-5 mins and it’s completely gone. Now idk about you, but I’ve spent more than 3-5 minuets in pain staring in the mirror at my double chin trying to build my confidence up to go out and meet people. As a matter of fact I usually grow a beard just to hide it. I promise you it doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as you think it will going into it and you’ll be happy you actually did it. Pain was a 3/10.
At the end Dr. Chappell took time to ask me about my experience, again I just feel like they delivered world class service.
So for anyone reading this that might be on the fence I would say it’s worth it and I would do it again. I’m probably going to do my love handles next with cool sculpting.
I look forward to seeing the results and will post here again in 4 months.
