WORTH IT$1,600
I'm a fit 39 year old woman who loves her curves. I also like food which I had to restrict in the most extreme ways if I wanted my thighs lean. After many years of self loathing, then the realization that I'm just going to have to "love my body as is" I heard about cool sculpting. I looked into it when it first came out and it looked too good to be true, so I left that option out for several years.
However when another woman at work commented on her own problem areas, I began looking into it again. Lipo was NEVER an option for me after researching it. I always looked at it as "if things go bad (results or complication) could I live with it", and the answer was always no. So, I looked into Cool Sculpting again. This site was fantastic and I found a Clinic that offered the procedure. Yes, it's expensive and yes, there is that chance that it doesn't work for you. With that in mind, I started off doing my inner thighs first. I figured, loosing $1600.00 was worth the gamble. My tech suggested doing two sites per thigh; the inner and then the lower back of my thigh (four sites in total).
The procedure took a little over four hours as I played games, read and relaxed. I kept thinking to myself, "this is the easiest way to loose fat!"
The procedure didn't hurt in the least, even when she messaged the "stick of butter" that came out after. The next few days, the area felt like I had an intense workout; was a little uncomfortable sitting on the toilet seat for the first four days. After that, no pain but a little tingling at night once and a while. I never had to take pain killers as the area was numb for about a month. The area was a little swollen for about 10 days.
The worse part was WAITING for the results. I was impatient, looking, examining and praying for quick results...but I just had to wait.....
About a month later, I put on my leggings and notice that my legs looked good....I mean REALLY good. I grabbed at the skin from the area I had treated and instead of feeling a glob of skin/fat, I pinched skin/fat! I was elated! My inner thighs looked NORMAL for the first time in my life where I wasn't dieting like a mad woman. My weight didn't change that much, but my legs looked lean/toned.
I am very happy with my results; so much so, that I'm now getting my outer thighs, hips and upper abs done in three days.
The best thing I can tell you is this procedure isn't about being "fat free", it's about sculpting your body so that it is proportionate for your frame. Keep your goals realistic if you're considering this as an option. Depending on how much fat you have in the area, you may need to treat the it twice.
Hope this helps anyone considering the procedure.

Could you, kindly, post a new picture? Where in Edmonton did you go?

Maggiejix, I will be posting an "update photo" when I go for my follow up on the 10th of this month. I went to Serene Radiance on 23 Ave and Rabbit Hill Road. I HIGHLY recommend Coral D'Alimonte. She really knows how and where to use the applicators. She's extremely picky and will take the time to make things just right for you.

Wow, I am really happy for you.
I just got the procedure done on my stomach area. I am now wishing I lived in Edmonton because I just paid 3x as much for 4 areas. I really hope it works well because now I am really very upset. I was going to go back for more on my inner thigh but now I feel I am getting ripped off. :(
Again I am happy for you.

Looks great. Was that done with the suction or the one that lays on top? If you got that for $1600, I think the place I went overcharged.

Hello clairetray, as mentioned, I had four sites done (back of thigh and then the inseam on each thigh). The cost was $745.00 each but I got a 10% discount because I had more then one site done. They used the suction on all four. So with GST it was about %1600.00

Thanks Beautiful B. I need to have outside & back of thighs & was told they would use flat plate that stays on for 2 hours. I had my stomach done 2 mons ago with small suction & large suction. Can see some results but probably need another & my skin is loose so also wonder if I should have just done TT. So far I have spent $3750 & that is with 15% discount for buying at their event. I had 4 sites done & I see ppl post prices for less so I'm thinking I probably need to shop around. What do you think?

I just had my outer thighs and hips done with the flat applicator. The worse part for the hips was laying on my side to 2 hours. My body started to cramp. The outer thighs were super easy because I got to sit up. It's been two complete weeks and I can see a difference already. The flat applicators were $1500.00 per site and I got a 15% disc. I guess it depends who offers what and the experience they bring. Last thing you need is a someone who doesn't have the experience and does a poor job. This procedure is permanent, so the last thing you need is the "shark bit" effect.

Can you update your picture? Not many pictures online that show the back leg area afterwards. I really wanna do the sides of my thighs or backs of. Please and thank you :)

I had my inner thighs done recent, I so was waiting to post the "after" picture after my next follow up. I can tell you, I've had fantastic results. I no longer have major fat "globs" around my thighs. I am much more proportioned then I have ever been.
I will promise to post more photo's soon. Hope this helps

Thanks for posting. You look great. I just did my outer thighs. Hope I get the results you did.

Had coolsculpting done on outer thigh; inner thigh front; inner thigh side; back of thigh; flanks and hips. The before is the picture with the blue underwear. I am THRILLED with my results. It was worth the money spent. I had no down time, little to no discomfort, and better then 20% with all area except outer flanks and hips (fat was much more dense there.)
Again, not cheap but also didn't put my life at risk.

Oh WOW girl, you got it going on-- can we say "hello bikini"!!! Your results are amazing, I am just thrilled for you! Thank you for sharing your final results with the community.

Amazing!!!!! Your cellulite reduction is amazing as well as the smoothing and fat loss. Have you started working out too? I had multiple areas done and love my results too. Congrats you look amazing
April 28, 2015
I've been working out my entire life. The large genetic fat deposits made it impossible to see all the hard work I put in the gym. My reduced cellulite was just an added bonus!
April 21, 2015
Those results look unbelievable! For someone who only had 4 sites done, wow, how is it the front of your legs look so good?? You said you only had the backs and inner thighs done.
April 28, 2015
In total I had inner, outer, hips, top inner thigh and rear inner thigh. I responded very well to the treatment and I am very happy with my results. It was worth the small fortune I put into it.
April 24, 2015
Where did you have this done? Looks amazing
April 28, 2015
Thank you, I live in Edmonton Alberta and I attended Serene Radiance in SW part of the city.
They sure do look better, wow!
