EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

bgood72
$3,700
I spent $3700 to have 2 treatments each on my arms & inner thighs/knees. When I went for a follow up, the tech agreed there had been no change in my inner thighs & I received an additional session for free.
Well it is now 11 months since my first Coolsculpting session, and I have lost 20 pounds since then & I still have only lost about 1/2 a inch off of each arm & off of my inner thigh/knee. Those are the LAST places I lose, which is why I tried Coolsculpting in the first place!
I really REGRET all of the money I wasted on this procedure & I wish I had saved up a bit more & had liposuction or something ELSE. I had read so many reviews and looked at so many pictures on this site which showed great results - but that was NOT my experience! When I had my first treatment done, Coolsculpting had an 84% WORTH IT rating, which I notice has gone down to 77%. I have not tried to pursue any recourse with Dr. Coley's office - I just feel taken advantage of by this entire experience and depressed about how much money I WASTED!

I’m so sorry for your disappointment and spending all that money! My heart goes out to you. But thank you for your honest review. It has made me decide to pursue liposculpture instead of Coolsculpting and it until recently it was the other way around. I appreciate your advice and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Sending hugs!

I am glad someone can learn from my costly mistakes! Good luck!

I had coolsculpting done on my bat wings also, and it was a waste of money $3339. I had 2 coolsculpting treatments and 6 skin tightening treatments, and haven't seen any results.

I had tickle lipo done last week on my arms & thighs (I posted a separate review) and even with all of the swelling & bruising my arms are already down 1"! Coolsculpting is wishful thinking!!!

What is "tickle lipo"?

I spent even MORE- about $4600 and have next to nothing to show for it. Should have had liposuction.

Day 2 THIGHS Week 2 ARMS

bgood72
My thighs are definitely more sore than my arms were on day 2 - but 100% tolerable - I worked out this AM with no issues & the soreness will not impede any of my weekend plans, that's for sure!

My arms only feel sore when you press on the treated area - so no issues at all there. I have not noticed any changes yet - I am only 9 days out so that is totally expected.

The WAITING is still the HARDEST part!!!

I just heard about cool sculpting today and a local dermatology clinic does it. I'm pretty interested, following to see your progress!
