I had my Coolsculpting done on Saturday, 10/1. After reading all of the reviews, I was very afraid of the pain I might experience. Surprisingly, on my stomach area I had very little pain, so I wondered what all the reviews were about. Then I had a section of my back done and it did hurt during the massage after the cooling, but it only hurt for a few minutes and I was on my way. My bra strap caused some irritation of the back area but the irritation was gone by the time I woke up the next day. I think the variance of pain I felt was due to how much fat existed in the area being treated. More fat, less pain.

Hollywood Body Laser is using newer applicators than I saw in the YouTube videos. The new applicators are called CoolAdvantage. The procedure time is reduced almost in half and the applicators are more comfortable. This might be why the pain wasn't as bad as others have reported?

I had a bit of soreness the day after, just like after working out. So far, that is all the pain I have felt. I am waiting for the pain that others have reported a week or so after their procedure. I will update this review with more information as time progresses.

So far, I would definitely recommend others to try Coolsulpting. Don't let the reports of pain dissuade you. This is far better than having liposuction.

You should definitely try to post pics. Im going in next week for back. I had arms and inner thighs done 4 weeks ago in Golden. Great success in arms so far hope the thighs catch up. Yeah the massage on arm was brutal. I almost teared up lol

This is a phenomenal improvement! Where did the applicators go, above or below the folds, or directly on?

I would say the bottom edge of the applicator went into the fold and the top edge went up to where my bra strap is. The skin and fat was sucked up into the applicator as she laid the bottom edge against me and rolled the center of the applicator over the area.

Thank you! This is the area that needs most improvement on me, and several consultations later, I have no idea who to go with, because they all show me different placements, saying that "this will give you the best effect." But yours seems tried and true. I will choose between the two who showed me that placement. Thanks again for responding. :)

That is awesome to see changes so quickly! Hopefully it will continue! Best of luck to you!
