DON'T do Coolsculpting--- Know the Facts First

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.

Thank you so much for spelling this out. I've been considering and I'm now thinking another direction is best after reading your post. I've heard some of this info from others but your synapse was the most convincing! How do you like Laser of Marin for other treatments, like filler or Botox?
