Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I had ONLY 1/2" inch of fat around the lower belly, and love handles to remove. Otherwise I'm PERFECTLY lean and fit. I thought Coolsculpting would be a good option. I am INCREDIBLY unhappy with coolsculpting, (not just the provider), but the PROCEDURE here's why:
FACT #1 - Coolsculpting can ONLY realistically treat 20% of the fat for each area treated, meaning if you want 100% of the fat gone, you must re-do each procedure, 5 times (4 to 8 weeks between each time).
FACT #2 Coolsculpting is MUCH MORE expensive than other procedures (like laser lipo, which can be done under a "twilight" IV ,you walk in, you walk out, and the fat is gone when you leave).
Coolsculpting ranges between $400 & $700 PER (system head) size. It's about 2" by 5", so, if you want your entire lower abs done, and love handles, and around to the back, that's 8 to 10 areas, at $400 to $700 each. That's $4000 to $7000 to hit each are 1 time. Oh, and, it will ONLY REMOVE "UP TO" 20%, so... do the math, why spend $3,000 to $7,000 to have only 20% "maximum expected fat reduction"...
Fact #3 IT'S BRUTALLY Painful... seriously barbaric.

Provider Review
Failed to disclose (before procedure started) that 20% fat loss per treatment is reasonable....until I was half way through the appointment. Had I known sitting in the waiting room, completing forms, and reading about their disclosures, I would have realized to eliminate 100% of the desired fat, it would take 5 visits, and I would have realized it's a waste of time, and money, and just find an alternative procedure.
