Don't Waste Your Money on Cool Sculpting

I saw NO Cool Sculpting noticeable results on all 4 areas after several months. I got a new job and wanted to look better and reduce flab/fat. Cool Sculpting to my arms $1,175, thighs $1,175, flanks $1,000 and abdomen $1,000. The rate goes down slightly after multiple sessions. After spending nearly $5k (5 treatments in all), after 8 months I still don't see a difference. At my 3 month follow-up the measurements showed I lost .5" off my arms and .5" off my thighs. I spend $2,400 to lose 1"? What a rip off. I showed the treating nurse my before and after pics. She said it can take up to 6 month to see full results (all my research said 3 months), nothing got any better at 6 months. She had a way of explaining everything away. I would NOT recommend Cool Sculpting for anyone. Mine was at Dr. Clayman's Miracle Spa in Jacksonville, Florida. It doesn't work, not to mention it can hurt during and afterward (the freezing and numbness during the treatment is.....tolerable). Afterwards for 3-4 days, my inner thighs felt continually like pins were pricking them; I even had trouble sleeping and used cool packs to relieve the pain. At my arm treatment areas, they were numb for 2 months (it's a risk you read about). When the fat is initially sucked into the device it's uncomfortable, but after awhile it's just cold and numb. The abdomen really hurt. I had pant-breathe at first to tolerate it and take a Xanex. At my 3 months follow-up , after I complained about the lack of results, I was offered a second treatment on my flanks for only $250. I figured it might take 2 treatment on the flanks and STILL no results after two. Supposedly you're to get a 10% reduction after 1 treatment. My thighs are 27" so I should have lost 2.7". She said I'd should only need 1 treatment on each area (set up unrealistic expectations), but possibly 2 on my flanks. No results even after 2 treatments on my flanks. You can see in the pictures below. I wish I'd have listened to a friend who said to wait for results before I do more areas, but I was so convinced by the nurse it'd work I had all 4 area done within 3 weeks. Dr Mark Clayman did a mini-facelift and chemical peel a year prior and I was VERY happy with those results; it cost less than all these Cool Sculpting sessions.

I have to share to help other not waste their money or time.

Cool Sculpting is a waste of money (very expensive compared to other options) and also can really hurt; the abdomen is the worst pain. Save your money. I had it done on both arms, both flanks (twice), abdomen and thighs. I saw no difference after spending $5,000. You can see from the pictures below no difference 6 months and $5k later. Before pic is on the left and after pic on the right. it's done in the Spa, not by the doctor.

I LOVE Dr Mark Clayman. He did my mini-facelift. chin lipo and TCA chemical peel on my face and chest. I have the "refreshed" look I wanted and the price was less than my cool sculpting treatment. Go figure. There really ins't pain, just a little down time from the chemical peel, peeling and stitches around the ears that can be easily covered with hair.
