Initial Review, Results to Follow - Fairfax, VA

As with other reviewers, as time goes on, less and less to report on. At this point, all effects of the actual procedures are pretty much gone. Some barely noticeable numbness remains, and a weird tingling sensation if I poke the treated areas repeatedly. Not sure what it means. One thing to mention first, there is an obvious psychological effect to this (as I suspect with any procedure) - I eat better and try to maintain the weight, I actually lost 4 lbs. After spending this kind of cash, one does not want to ruin the results with cake... at least I don't.
The results so far - the lower abdomen is showing the most progress. The area is noticeably smaller, the pants fit better and the overall look is flatter and smoother. While I do suck in my stomach most of the time as a habit, I was never able to suck it in to flatness before. Now it's easier. The sides and inner thighs are showing less change, visually, although the pants feel looser around my legs, so maybe there is a change. I will know the exact differences in a month when I have a 2 month follow up. Will have pictures then too.

This is a short update, not much is happening, there is still some numbness and itching in the treatment areas, although I did realize I was itching a mosquito bite at one point, this is a point of reference for intensity, I guess...there is no pain, bruising is gone, very little in terms of all the other sensations, some burning very randomly and for short periods, goes away with rubbing of the area. I am slowing forgetting to even think about these areas, back to normal routine, eating healthy and exercising. Hoping to not obsess over this, and after a few weeks to be very impressed with the difference as I finally by accident look at those areas in the mirror, or try a pair of pants known for not fitting before... or at the very least, will have some idea at two months follow up.

Not much is happening since last update. Same type of dull bruise-like pains, some sharp needles and sunburn sensations that come and go. The sides are having the least reaction, some minor bruising. The inner thighs itch and have the burning/tingling sensations. The lower abdomen is the most active. Over the last week I think I have felt everything possible (these are varieties of pain that I can equate to something people can relate to) - bruise, sore muscles, sunburn, period pains/cramps, constipation, heartburn, itching - I think I covered the range. Keep in mind, I didn't experience any of the actual events, those are the TYPES of pain I felt in my treated stomach area, inside the fat. I am guessing the sensations are of such variety as the process affects several layers and types of tissue plus the brain probably is processing this new procedure as best as it can...I haven't resorted to meds or ice as of yet, massaging the area helps to calm the burning/itching/sharp stabbing pains on the surface. The dull cramping/heartburn-type pains I can't seem to do nothing about, they seem to be deeper into the skin. The overall discomfort is 2 out of 10, I seriously have had periods and stomach upsets that were more miserable than this...So I count that as doing well. Side note, I have been avoiding the temptation to obsess over the treated areas, I am not examining them every day or measuring for changes. The first week was mostly focused on eating healthy (as I do), drinking tons of water (as I don't....), throwing in some small workouts for good measure. I did look at my stomach yesterday and almost wanted to say I saw a reduction in size, however after a week it's not realistic to expect it or have any change, so I attributed it to my healthy lifestyle and decided not to worry about results for few more weeks. Till next update, ask me any questions you have.
