I am 40 years, active and thin. I have a tummy bulge or pooch and it drives me crazy because no matter how much I exercise or how I eat, its always there. I looked into liposuction but right now I just don't have the time for down time. Coolsculpting seems like a good way to target the area without the downtime or expense of lipo. The technician wasnt sure I actually had enough to treat but when I sat down and showed her the difference between standing straight up and sitting she measured and decided I was a good candidate. We did one small applicator to the lower abdomen. I admit to being somewhat nervous after reading the negative reviews but after my treatment I am hopeful. I had absolutely no pain and I wouldn't really even call the procedure uncomfortable. It is a very odd feeling when the applicator is attached but my technician did a good job of distracting me and having me breath and after a minute or two I felt fine. I was able to work on my computer and felt fine. The massage again was odd but not at all painful and now a couple hours out, most of the numbness and redness is gone, I see no bruising and overall feel fine. I will keep you updated with progress and pictures.

Technician is very nice and knowledgeable. Beautiful facility, very comfortable and clean and the staff is very attentive. The doctor I only met once but she is very nice as well and I felt that they did a good job listing pros and cons and making sure that I had reasonable expectations.

Thanks! Everything is going great so far. Very little swelling and soreness and no bruising at all. I did pick up some arnica gel and tablets from whole foods yesterday and start them because I was sore when I first got up and I feel great today. Good luck!

Still doing well. A few twinges or cramps here and there but less than menstral cramps and they respond well to the arnica gel.

Everything is still going really well. Bruising never happened, I only had about three days of swelling and very little pain about day 5-6. On days 10-13 there was mild itching that was relived by rubbing arnica gel on it. At this point almost all of the numbness is completely resolved and I already see some difference. There is simply not as much fat to grab :) I will update with photos when I'm home later.
