WORTH IT$2,225
My weight has gone up and down between 5 and 10 lbs. I will still say that it's the best money I've spent. Even with weight gain and it showing in my belly it's never looked like my initial pictures. All I have to do is tighten my muscles and my stomach goes flat. And when pushing it out it's practically nothing.

Concern for fellow coolsculptees
sapphireburstNovember 10, 2016
I've read so many reviews where people are sold 2 or more sessions at once. Wait and see what your results are before shelling out five grand. Shop around. The first place I went to was Ideal Image. They told me I needed 4 applications and 2 sessions. When I went to the Med Spa they told me I only needed 2 applications and encouraged me to wait before I do any more than that.
All I'm saying don't burn yourself. Take your time. Talk to the staff. Talk to other places. Do your research. And then, good luck.

Thanks so much for all of your great advice! You look absolutely amazing!!! I'm at 3 weeks exactly (2 small applicators on lower stomach pooch) and I am seeing results!!! I'm self tic and tall but had twins and when the doc repaired my hernias he apparently pulled my fat down all into one place. Ugh. Yep, should have had a TT with it or lipo but wasn't thinking...oh well. CoolSculpting hurt like HELL days 5-10 for me (had to resort to Percocet to sleep!! Aaagh!!). OMG that was awful especially at night....but now fat is less each day. I have the stretch marks and loose tummy skin now....but I'll take that any day if I can start to wear fitted tops. And like you, now my flanks are starting to bug me-much more noticeable now!!! Your flanks look good. I'll post a review soon with my before pics, but what applicators did you use on your tummy? 2 small? 2 large? 4 small?

Thank you. I started to notice stretch marks too but I don't think it was from the coolsculpting. I had 2 large applicators. I started seeing a difference around 3 weeks but it just kept getting better. Hope yours does too. I'd love to see pics.

I have been reading through your experience. You look amazing! You certainly had a great outcome. I too am going in to Ideal Image for coolsculpting in the next few weeks. They did sell me 6 cycles for 2 separate sessions. (2 cool max's on the lower abdomen, 2 smaller applicators of the mid abdomen and 2 small applicators on each flank) I had two kids and have that typical "mom" pooch. I'm beyond excited to get this done. Even if I only see small results, I feel it will boost my confidence and give me the push I need to start shedding those extra pounds. I'm hoping for no nerve pain but it seems very common that people do experience this. I'll make sure I get my Rx ahead of time...just in case. Thank you for sharing your story. You are giving me hope!

You're results have been amazing! I had good results doing 2 Coolmax applications as well, but nothing like yours (*__*) I waited 3 months and decided to get a 2nd session, so I'm glad you have posted this advice for people. It really does take time to work, and you never know how many applications you will actually need!

You inspire me to want to get this done!
Where is the Radiance Medical Spa you went to?

Thank you! for posting your posting your journey. I have read almost every story on here ( including Mens) and all Ive gotten is that it hurts like CRAZY. You mentioned itching and some apparent pain, but nothing too crazy. Ill be honest that gave me comfort thinking maybe its not as bad as everyone makes it seem. I have my consultation tomorrow and also very grateful for the advise of not buying more than needed. Wish me luck!

IF you get the Cool Advantage applicators, you should not have the intense pain. That's what I had three weeks ago. Very tender, yes; painful, no. Uncomfortable, yes. But not painful.

It's been six months and my weight is back up a little. I hover between 120 and 125. I will still say this is the best money I've ever spent. I feel confident in tight clothes and I'm proud that I've kept the weight down. But even putting weight back on isn't going to my gut. I'd love to have my flanks done and do my stomach again. But truth is if I ever get that kind of money again I'll get a tummy tuck (I have loose skin.) I'm not afraid of the recovery. I had two c sections and HAD to get up and move.

Just wondering, have you considered corseting or latex waist trainers at all? I don't know anyone personally that has done this with good results, but I've seen some amazing pictures online. Personally, I enjoy my corsets as they help with my posture, and I recently started wearing a latex waist trainer! I am hoping it will aide me in seeing even better results for my second round of coolsculpting :)
