No Results on Lower Stomach

I am a fit person, but my lower stomach carries a little extra body fat. It's such a small amount that my provider that I would have amazing results.

I ended up signing up for a study where you pay $399 per month and get two treatments per month. In total, I had four treatments about two weeks apart. I can honestly say that I can't tell a difference at all.

To compare, I took both pictures and measurements. I measure the same around that area of my stomach, and in the pictures, as you can see, there is still a slight hump on the lower abs just as there was before.

As far as pain, as my provider kept telling me, "It's not a spa treatment." It's not relaxing, but it's not painful. Sometimes you get little zaps when it gets really hot and sucks the fat into the machine, but it's not terrible. After my first treatment, I was left with hickey marks all over my stomach from the sucking, and I did have stomach pain for a couple of days. The marks went away after about two weeks while the pain only lasted a couple of days. After the other treatments, my body adjusted and the marks went away within a day.

I just want to say that I don't blame my provider for the fact that this treatment was a bust. They were awesome and they act as a training facility for this laser. They know how to use it! I just think, that for whatever reason, it wasn't effective on me. One theory I have is that the fat that is left is visceral fat. If that's true, then this would explain why the laser wasn't effective and the fat should go away if I drop even more overall body fat.

Your provider should NOT HAVE done these treatments 2 weeks apart. while some of these cells are killed during each session, some of them are only damage. Taking 2 weeks between treatments allow those fat cells to regenerate, seriously leading to lesser results from your treatments. That was very irresponsible of your practitioner.

Typically it takes 6-8!sessions 1 week apart to see results. Your provider did not follow protocol. So it is not surprising you did not see results. Sorry this happened to you. I would find another provider and do your own research so you are armed with the information to know whether the provider is treating appropriately.

I would say, for someone fit who works out, who has some stubborn fat but does not want anything invasive, EMSculpt is a better option!
