Coolshaping - So Happy with my Results!!
I did one treatment of Coolshaping with Dr Castaneda and I am so happy with my results! I'm generally pretty fit and eat healthy, but no matter how hard I tried I could never get rid of the fat on my lower belly. I finally decided to go to VIDA for a consultation because the price was 1/4 what they charge in the US for Coolsculpting, and Coolshaping is pretty much the same thing (same technology, I think the main difference is the size of the paddle). I went to see Dr Castaneda for a consultation and he explained that considering my size and amount of fat that I should expect to see results after one treatment, so I thought it was definitely worth trying!
The appointment was easy- I basically just laid on the bed while they attached the paddles to my stomach. Any discomfort was very minor, and after the machine did its thing, they massaged the area. For about 24 hours after my stomach was a little bit red and I had some "hickey" marks from the suction but that was it. For the next days and weeks I made sure to continue exercising regularly and staying well hydrated to achieve the best results as recommended by the doctor.
The results were very gradual which was expected, and honestly it was hard to notice at first but after about 8 weeks I really felt like my stomach was flatter. I didn't go down a size but what I did notice is that my clothes (jeans especially) are fitting a lot more comfortably! Now its been 10 weeks and I can really tell the difference, especially when I compare the photos. I'm so happy I did Coolshaping! Next time I go to VIDA I will ask Dr. Castaneda what he thinks about doing a second treatment, but honestly I won't be surprised if I'm not a candidate anymore because it worked so well the first time!
