Having the 4 areas treated in 4 hours in 3 days time (lower abs 2x small applicator & flanks 2x small applicator).
I exercise 3-4 times a week and have a reasonably good diet but can't shift the slight muffin top.
Had consultation for vaser & coolsculpting, opted for coolsculpting even though results are not as good but less chance of anything going wrong and less than half the price.
Expectations are at least a 30% reduction but Dr thinks it will be more!
I will update on Thursday after the treatment. Will take before pics.

The procedure didn't work for me and I spent 39000. It was a huge disappointment and waste of money. There really are not any studies to show that this procedure truly destroys the fat cells permanently. I did the procedure for the exact reasons you did the fear of invasive surgery and what could go wrong. I am very cautious when it comes to surgery. I remember the story about Kanye West's mother Donda West. She went for a tummy tuck and breast reduction. I think she died at home the next day.

Agree not worth it. Did this 2 years ago, 1 application, saw nothing. Got talked into trying again and did 8 weeks ago and redoing same 2 areas today. I saw no results, not even a pound lost and swelled and went up a pant size. I diet and exercise and am completely frustrated with this coolsculpting, I`m not obese, so I don't understand why no change. Will do again today since I prepaid but never again.

I am of normal size for a 74 year old woman, just had belly fat I could not get rid of. I went for two sessions each one a big flop. I contacted the center and the doctor who heads the department said he saw a change. He needs to have his eyes examined. Too add insult to injury, he then suggest I have another treatment for a reduced cost. Unbelievable, the unabashed nerve of these people preying on the insecurities of people and those, like myself and other people who are desperate to look their best for their jobs and other very legitimate reasons. I never went down a size, nor did my clothes become looser. Too bad we can't start a class action suit. Zeltiq is not telling the truth as far as I'm concerned about the efficacy of the treatment.

YW! I believe you will get Great results. Once i do it in October we can see if it works or not I just wrote a new review today on my 1st journey so it'll be up by tomorrow. We can encourage one another. I think people may notice. My surgeon had it done and i told him he looked like he lost lost weight and come to find out he did cool sculpting. It takes 2-3 months for results. HAAHAHA! Now i know your secret!! May i ask why you are keeping quit about it?

Just had lower abs done, not at all painful. Now lying on my front having flanks treated, absolutely fine.
I plan on playing tennis this evening so I hope things remain pain free!
