I have done my love handles and my lower abdomen on the 7th of November 2012.
After a lot of research and a few visits to my doctor, I decided to do it and because of the high cost, I put a group together to get a discount.
I hate pain and one of the reasons that made me do it, it's because It's a "no pain" procedure and we don't need a time out.
Day 1:
During the procedure, I didn't feel much pain, just a discomfort due to the suction of the skin, but in less than 4 minutes the area was totally numb.
The procedure itself doesn't hurt at all, what hurts is the massage after to break the cells, I can tell you, it was pretty painful.
I went home driving without a problem.
When I got home, I went to the mirror and of course, it was swollen.....even bigger than before the treatment. Of course I knew it, it just had a cold suction for 1 hour each area.
It feels so funny to touch, I pass my hand on it and I don't feel my belly, weird sensation.

Day 2:
Everyday I wake up around 5am to go running and to the gym before i start work.
As I was told, I could do anything I want and "NO TIME OFF" can still go to the gym and do my regular work outs. I explained to the Dr. that I was training for the marathon that will take place on Dec 2nd and really need to get going with my trainings.
Guess what??? When I tried to get off the bed, I was surprised with the soreness around my belly. Even walking was hurting, any sort of impact on the ground, such as going down a step, hurts....imaging running!
This was my first surprise on my second day. I realized I couldn't run on that day.
My belly was completely numb, on the treated area. Time to get to work....2nd surprise, my pants doesn't fit, luckily I had jeans pants a little bit bigger and so I used.
3rd surprise, seat belt hurts a lot, I'm a marketing director for a company and I drive all day long, in and out of the car, it wasn't really a great day to work.
Any touch at the area, is like a punch and we all know that when we most try to avoid to hit a hurt area, is the most you will hit it and so it went all day long.
At night, it was the same as first day, numbness and redness. Not a problem to sleep at all.

Day 3:
It still very numb and the sensitivity of the skink is much more. The wind makes the shirt touch the skin and its a funny feeling, can't describe.
I pass my hand on my belly and it feels like Im touching a piece of rubber.
It still a bit swollen and I can see a bruise where the applicator was placed.
My pants can fit me now, but it still tight.
At night was pretty much the same as the other days, sleeping, wasn't a problem also.
