It took me six months to read at least 500 reviews, comments and videos about it and while everyone experiences different pain and I also visited 5 different clinics in Vancouver B.C. for a free consultation. The price is the same but the technician experiences are very different and that's very important part of the treatment and finally I picked Lougheed laser.
First, because the technician sounds very experienced and second, they have the new applicator called "cooladventage" (35 mins treatment time) and Third, they have duel machine to shorten the time.
I am 5'4/114.7lbs
Today I had my first coolsculpting, I was really nervous before the procedure regarding read many reviews on realself.com and it looks like 9/10 experience post pain (nerves pain).
So cut it short, the technician " Brooke" decided I am going to have two "coolcurve -advantage" on my flank and two "coolfit-advantage" in the middle of my abdomen ( 11 shape - vertical on left and right).
The gel wasn't too cool but very sticky like honey.
Right Flank: I can feel the vacuums up the fat and little pressure but nothing like pain at all, and I don't feel cold just little cool.
Left abdomen: The first 10 mins i feel a little bit pressure but nothing major. No pain and just a little cool.
Left Flank: it too close to my Pelvis so I feel little bit pain but nothing major, no more pain after 15 mins.
Right Abdomen: Feeling little deep pulling and a little pain (repeat very small part around my belly button. Feeling tingling at the last 13 mins.
The after Zwave massage was very noisy, you will feel like a rubber tingling the treated area but no pain.
I don't feel any discomfort or pain during and after the treatment. Now it's 5 hours after the treatment and I feel a little bit of numbness, but no bruises, no pain, feel pretty normal.
Not sure if this work or not, so I will put "not sure" and will keep update and give final "worth it or not" at the end.

Brooke (technician) is very experienced with coolsculpting the old applicator and the new advantage applicator. She makes me feel very comfortable and I was bit nerves before its starts but then I don't feel any pain at all. Not sure is coolsculpting will really reduce my tummy and flank fat or not, just did it yesterday but Brooke - she is good.

The 2nd day my numbness already gone like 50%, the applicator left few red mark of the applicator shape, little swelling, no pain but little sore, kind of like body sore after gym.
Today is 3rd day. Last night I experienced a few tingling from my abdomen and lower waist. It woke me up few times but go back to sleep fast.

Tummy, first time I paid for 2 treatments left and right but it doesn't work and even getting bigger than before (my appetite reduce like 50% after the first tummy treatment) I ate 50% less than I used to but I didn't exercise (I want to see the result with no exercise) so the clinic give me a free large applicator in the middle of the tummy.... to be honest, 6 months now, I eat healthy and I don't see any result on my tummy at all.
I think if you want to see result you need to rather treatment and exercise hard together or you have to do it like at lease 3 -4 treamtnets on each area otherwise you wont' see result. I believed those advertising and from those clinic show us those pictures who did one time already have result like this and that are B.S.
So I total did 7 treatments all together and not much result I can see and it's not worth it. After I told the clinic that I don't see much result after the 2nd treatments and their attitude changed.... so I am looking for other clinic for cool-sculpting.
I did 7 treatments in total and after 6 treatments you got 25% after, I wonder if that count to any other clinic or if I change to another clinic I have to start accumulate again...do you know?
