Yesterday I had my first coolsculpting procedure...
$4,200
Yesterday I had my first coolsculpting procedure done on my flank area and next week I will have my lower abdominal area done. The coolmax was used yesterday and will be used next week. I definitely agree with other reviews that are posted on how everything felt. I had my before pics done and then went into the coolsculpting room. The technician placed a protective gel pad on my left flank area. This sheet is wet and very cold. It's so cold that it almost takes your breath away. It is only uncomfortable for a few a seconds. When the technician placed the coolmax applicator and the vacuum process started it was pretty uncomfortable. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it through the procedure by the way it was feeling. The freezing process started next which is also uncomfortable. After about 6 minutes or so it gets bearable and then you get used to it. I really felt like this was completely like the other reviews on here described. I have some bruising but nothing too bad. My skin felt numb to the touch yesterday after the procedure and is still somewhat numb today. The pain isn't too bad. I feel like I have a muscle ache and mostly notice it when sitting/standing or bending. I have been using an abdominal binder and have been using ice about every 2 or 3 hours for about 30 minutes. I have noticed my left side has been having muscle twitches today but the right side isn't which is really strange. The technician told me that I will be more sore after the lower abdominal procedure next week and since I had already started bruising while I was there yesterday, she was certain I would have bruising on my abdomen. She also stated that the abdominal area will bruise more than my flank area has. I didn't have any issues sleeping last night and will be doing my normal work out routine. I typically go the gym for an hour and a half 3 to 4 days a week and I walk for an hour in the evenings 5 days a week. Sometimes I walk everyday. It depends on the weather. I don't feel like the flank area would any way interfere with any activities for anyone in anyway. I will update daily on how I feel and also on how I feel after the abdominal area is done. I will also add pictures when possible. The facility I am having my treatments done at is Sona MedSpa and so far I am very pleased with service I have received from them. The ensure that you are comfortable and Perri the technician called to check on me today. This really made me feel like they care about their clients.

2 days after coolsculpting of flank area
Today is 2 days since coolsculpting of my flank area. Nothing much to report. Just minimal discomfort which is relieved when wearing my abdominal binder. I did a lot of errands today and came home and walked for an hour. I used ice packs once today. My skin is still feeling a little numb and I have some muscle discomfort but nothing to bad.

Thank you for your review! Do you have any pics you can submit? Love to see your results as they progress over the next few weeks!
Can you take arnica or take other precautions to help with the bruising?

RealSelfChris,
I have been using ice on and off since the procedure and the bruising is looking better at this point. Hoping that next week when I have my abdominal area done I don't bruise any further. I will continue to post updates and pics as often as I can. Thanks!

Hello Everyone am Gift from Canada, I am here to shear my story , I was very annoyed when I found out that at the age of 10 years I was very fat, i went to different hospitals, use so many product which doctors prescribe for me, but there was no solution on how to reduce my fat, so I was thinking on how i can get a solution out so that my body weight can be okay. One day I was in the pool side Browsing and thinking where I can get a solution on how to reduce my fat. I saw a blog on how Dr Ken helped people in reducing there fatness, i did not believe but i just decided to give him a try, I contacted him and he got back to me, he gave me some comforting words with his herbal product for reducing of fat. within 3 weeks of use my fatness reduces and now am good at my posture, if anybody is in this kind of situation and needs help in reducing his/her fat or weight should kindly contact him via Email; kenherbalhome@gmail.com or call +2349052116690

Mine hurt like hell and made almost no difference. I almost had PTSD from my c section recovery and felt like an idiot for thinking that anything other than surgery could make a change.

3 days post flank procedure
Today is 3 days post my flank procedure. This really hasn't been bad at all so far. I am sore but not anything I can't handle. I walked for an hour yesterday and I went to the gym and did my normal hour and a half work out. I have been sleeping ok. It is more comfortable to sleep on my back vs my side due to my flanks being sore. Today's update is short as there isn't much to report

I def will! I sure hope it works for me since I spent a lot of money...lol! I did a good bit of online research before doing it and saw that a lot of people seemed to have great success with it!
