Attended a Coolscupting event at a local Medispa. I wanted to learn more about the process and hoped to get an event discount. After my free consultation I purchased two Coolsculpting packages. 4 treatments with the Coolmax applicator (largest applicator) to treat my lower abs, two treatments each side. The other package was for 8 total treatments with the smaller size applicators for any other treatment areas on my body. The event provided me with just about a 50% discount on treatments. On 4/14/18 I had my first treatment, two applicators, one for each side of my lower abs, 45 minutes each. I returned on 4/18/18 to have several small applicator treatments (both upper arms/tricep area, both sides of my upper abs, and both inner thighs), 35 minutes each. That leaves me with two large applicator treatments and two smaller applicator treatments. I am scheduled to return on 5/26/18 for my complimentary customized facial. At that time we will be taking more photos and most likely complete a second treatment on my lower abs. I can then decide which areas I will use my final smaller applicator treatments on.
As for those first treatments, I did not experience any pain, more of a slight discomfort with the coldness before ther areas went numb. Inner thigh treatments were done one at a time because this girl never could do the splits. Just had to alternate them with an upper ab or arm treatment, two machines going at once. I watched tv, texted, and played on my tablet during the treatments. The post treatment massage was not uncomfortable or painful, the areas were still numb. I followed instructions and increased my water intake. After nearly a week, my lower abs are still numb and I am beginning to feel pins and needles similar to when your foot starts to wake up. Weird and a bit uncomfortable but nothing painful. My upper arms are sore and tender to the touch but no bruising at all. My upper abs and inner thighs are not uncomfortable at all. I will update after my next appointment. I am hopeful after looking at a lot of other people's results. Fingers crossed.

Sorry for the delayed update. I can see a definite change in certain areas more than others. There is less fat volume in my lower abs. I can also tell the difference between only having one treatment to the upper abs vs. two for the lower abs. My upper arms are noticeably smaller as well as my inner thigh area which both received only one treatment. Another Coolsculpting event is happening toward the end of this month. I am planning to purchase more small application treatments in order to get second treatments on my upper abs, inner thighs and possibly upper arms. I believe in the effectiveness of the treatments and recommend them.
