I am a 48 year old (young!!!) woman who has been trying to lose the extra inches I've put on since having two kids. It has been a real struggle! I went to a highly recommended surgeon and he suggested surgery. I am an attorney, working full time. The idea of surgery is not something I would consider right now. With two active kids, and a hectic, non-stop schedule, I simply do not have the time to do it and recover from it. Last year, I saw an ad some for something called cool sculpting. It seemed very appealing as it was not surgery and the patient photos I saw seemed amazing. I did the treatment. It was very painful!! And I spent the better part of the day there to do three small areas. Of course, doing this was much more appealing than surgery, even with the pain. The doctor said it would take 3 or 4 months to see the results. I waited and saw NOTHING. Of course, I went back. He said he would recommend another session as it often takes two times to get a result. After paying around $2400 I did not want to pay any more. If I saw something I may have considered it, but I saw nothing. Plus, at that cost why not actually have surgery. While on vacation, I was catching up on some TV. On The View I saw something new and really exciting. Whoopi Goldberg lost 5 inches on it and said it was her favorite treatment. She laid under the machine and said it was very comfortable, and basically melted your fat away. It seemed too good to be true, considering my experience thus far. I looked on the internet for Vanquish and found a doctor who had it. I did a little more research on it too. The ratings were very high on it from other Real Self users, and I saw a number of other TV programs that had it on too. As advertised, it was a very quick and comfortable experience. It was warm, and relaxing. Far from my previous experience where the machine felt like a vacuum sucking my fat and freezing me. Ugh! Never again! I did have to do 4 treatments, but I was in an out of the doctor's office in less than an hour so I was able to schedule them when I had some free time at work each week. The best part is that I actually lost 3.5 inches!!!! I saw it happen after each treatment too. This was by far the best and easiest treatment I could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend this to everyone!
