I've always loved the staff at Ritacca. Friendly gals who are always caring & helping me to look my best. I can go in there, say i only have a certain amount of money to spend & they will offer me the best solution for my buck. I have never looked better or been treated with more care & concern. They answered all my questions, checked on my discomfort often & let me converse with the other gals asking about the procedure, while I was going through it (I was the person used for the demo). I was given a prescription for Neurontin for the pain I may experience in a few days. They urged me to fill it, so I wouldn't have a moment of discomfort. I will post back in a day or 2 & should have the "before" pictures they took by then.

Went in today for my freebie. I had them look me over & we decided on doing a bulge on my right thigh that I don't have on the left one. They froze it 2x. Maybe now, my thighs will be more symmetrical!

So if you had a choice of doing outer or inner thighs, which do you think gives you best look? Im thinking outer. BTW, have you had your body fat measured? If so did it drop significantly?

I have had my inner thighs done 1x & the outer 2x. This is # 3 & 4 on the right one. I definitely can see a HUGE difference on the smoothness of my contour! I've always been pear-shaped & my thighs were very out of proportion to the rest of me & were very lumpy/bumpy. I have never had measurements or body fat percentages taken.

You are 54? Wowza! Your midsection looks awesome! There are no specials in my area. If there were specials, I would totally get more Cool work done.

Hey Pufferpunk, thanks for sharing your story. I recently did coolsculpting treatments to my inner thighs, lower abdomen and flanks. I was wondering since you've been through this already at what point you see the most results? It's been about a month and I'm already seeing results so I was wondering if those results would be much greater at three months after treatment? Hopefully that makes sense... If not, I just want to know if your results change much after one month?

Not in those areas---faster results with the abdomen. Give it about 4 months & don't expect much from the thighs. They just can't get enough fat into the long-shaped applicator. I've heard they will be coming out with a more rectangular-shaped one for the legs.
August 28, 2013
Did you use the small straight one on your thighs then? My thigh fat curves around my inner thighs more towards the back of my legs the clinic I went to used the small curved hand piece and it seemed to do pretty well so I'm anxious to see how well that area takes. So far I've only seen results in the hips and flanks. Do you start seeing more change after 2 months then?

Small on inner, medium on outer. My thighs were pretty lumpy/pear-shaped. they are much smoother now, after 1x both inner, 2x outer left & 4x outer right.

I just had my inner thighs done with the new applicator (Coolfit) and I will be posting my experience, with pics in the next day or so. The applicator grabbed a lot of fat, so I am hoping for great results!

I hope you're satisfied but don't expect too much. CS applicators really aren't made for the legs. They were supposed to come out with a more rectangular applicator for that last October but still haven't yet, a year later...
October 5, 2013
Actually this was the new applicator. It was rectangular and sucked in a lot of fat....proof is inthe pudding, they say. So we will see. I posted the first phase of my review if you are interested.
October 5, 2013
I'm interested in how that goes for you.
October 5, 2013
There already is a straighter applicator in use. It's a seven inch applicator and I used it vertically on my abdomen when I treated that area a second time a couple of weeks ago.

Very cool, I'm soooo glad they finally approved that for the thighs!
User Avatar
October 5, 2013
Yes, that's a great applicator for the mid-sections.
October 5, 2013
Oh and the tech said they were developing a hexagonal applicator for outer thighs. Still trying to picture that :)
October 5, 2013
Interesting! I've heard they are working on something that will freeze the entire circumference of the leg. I'm sure we will see some new things along the road. I would love it if they had something that worked will on the saddle bag area

Can you describe how the applicators were placed on your upper abdomen? Did it all overlap or do you have areas on your abdomen that did not receive treatment?
User Avatar
September 9, 2013
I had my upper abs done 1x, lower 2x & then they just placed it across the middle of my belly button, to suck in remainder of my tummy, 2 more times.
September 9, 2013
Good to know. I had always wondered if placing it directly on the BB would cause issues.
November 10, 2013
What size applicator did they use over your belly button? Did you wait between treatments?
User Avatar
November 10, 2013
I always used the largest applicator on the ab areas. 1st time was the lower, because there was a definite paunch there that wouldn't go away, no matter how much I exercised. The other 2 treatments were placed directly in the middle, sucking up upper & lower portions.
November 10, 2013
I've had the large applicator on my lower abdomen and used the smaller ones overlapping above the belly button. The lower portion of my abdomen has thinned out quite a bit more than the areas above the belly button. I am considering doing another large applicator at the belly button but I'm worried that it won't pull in much because it is tighter. I'm hoping to thin out the rest of my lower abdomen and the area just above my belly button. Do you think this would do the trick?
User Avatar
November 10, 2013
It should... The thinner you get, the more it will pull in.
November 10, 2013
I'm assuming it would be better to wait until I reach my full results on my upper abdomen before attempting that. Was it really painful over the belly button?
User Avatar
November 10, 2013
I never, ever felt any pain at any time from any of these CS procedures. I do have a high tolerance for pain though... Heavily tattooed. ;)
November 10, 2013
I have a pretty high pain tolerance also, I'm really not that worried about pain, I'm more worried that we won't be able to grab it all in if we stick it on directly over the belly button.
User Avatar
November 10, 2013
I don't see why not, as long as there's flesh to grab.

Oh yeah it's there... Take a look at the latest photos on my review. They are about a month old.

IDK... you look just like Wonder Woman! I've also had Botox. Juvederm, Ultherapy, too, if you need to discuss...
November 10, 2013
Bahahaha! I am meaning the photos my cool sculpting review (not the Wonder Woman pic), lol
October 4, 2013
I hope you don't mind me asking but I would like to know the difference in your weight in the before and after photos you posted on here. Your results have been amazing!
User Avatar
October 4, 2013
No weight change at all.
October 5, 2013
That's awesome! It shows that it really works well. I am really starting to see changes in my lower abs and hips now that I am closer to three months... I'm hoping they progress even more by four but I was told that not much change is seen after three... What do you think?
User Avatar
October 5, 2013
I think at 3 is a good indicator. I had several more treatments after that though.

I'm considering a second go on my flanks in a couple months. While i've had great results in all areas i've had done, istill want a little more on my waist. I've lost count, how many/which areas did you have done and which did you feel gave you biggest bang for the buck?
User Avatar
April 4, 2013
Ive done the upper/lower abs 3-4x, outer thighs 2x & inner thighs 1x. I feel this procedure is the very best for the abs. I was going to get this freebie there 1 more time but my belly is almost totally flat now.
