No Results BAD SIDE EFFECTA

i went here and met with flecha for a consultation. I wanted my inner thighs and outer thighs smaller. She said after these treatments people would be like “wow look at Cassondra She looks great”Well what she should’ve said is you don’t have enough fat/skin for this procedure. Kim Duro was amazing she was honest and kind and helpful. In the end i got four sessions on each inner thigh. I was left with no difference in thigh gap and unfortunately it had completely ruined the laxity of my thighs. The machine had sucked all the skin it could into the paddle and then released it and it had a sloping downward effect. The skin of my thighs has fallen now and is saggy. I am only 26 years old and 5’6 135 pounds and athletic. I had started this procedure when i was 24 in September 2017. It has been over a year since my last procedure and it ruined my thighs. I have been looking into everything to fix what cool sculpting has done to me. Along with it ruining the composition of my thigh i also have an uneven “shelf” effect as well and my inner thighs are uneven. I really ruined my legs and couldn’t regret it more. The before and after pictures are terrible i looked much better in the beginning. Kim Duro again was amazing and great and tried to help as best she could. It also ended up being that i didn’t even have enough fat to do the outer thighs so i got a refund on that. Pretty frustrating that flecha sold that to me considering i didn’t even have enough to fit. Just goes to show she didn’t care about the bigger picture just about getting her sales. I am so disappointed and desperately searching for something to revise what has happened.

oh wow that's terrible :(
Maybe some fat grafting to the area will firm it up, like when an area is over-liposuctioned.

I think that might be Paradoxical hyperplasia you might be thinking of. That’s when the tissue actually enlarges after the treatment. Mine more like sucked up my skin and really disrupted the laxity plus i also had the side effect termedTreatment Area Demarcation (TAD) which is where the treatment area has a bulge or “shelf” it’s not very apparent to an onlooker but where the treatment pad was on each inner thigh left a shelf or i guess like in indent? Where the pad ended and the rest of my inner thigh began. The last one TAD is more common from what I’ve heard from others. The possibility of the laxity change however was never mentioned to me or i prob wouldn’t have even done it

Still no relief

CTC1992
So it’s still bad and i am so self conscious of my legs i even have cellulite on my shins. I have tried so many things. Paid ridiculous amounts for VERJU laser treatments, endermologie, sculpsure, verashape, all the supplements, lotions, scrubs, massage treatments you could dream of. I honestly am not sure what is left to do if anyone has had any luck with any treatment to tighten the leg skin please let me know. Thank you!

Try Bodytite. It is specifically for skin tightening. I had it done and it is a miracle.

Thank you!! I haven’t seen that here in Hawaii but might be worth going to LA to get done. Thanks again!

After cool sculpting tried verju

CTC1992
Here’s over a year after my last cool sculpting treatment and i was trying out the VERJU laser to help. The Verju laser did not personally do anything for me. My legs and laxity is still Not appropriate for my age and fitness level and i will keep looking into different procedures.
