Had My First Cool Sculpt Today. Los Angeles, CA

After much research I decided to go ahead and get started with my first cool scuplting treatment. I did my left love handle area and this is how it went. First she applied a wet slippery pad onto the area after outlining where she was going to suction with a marker. Then she applied the device. You can feel some tugging as the machine sucks in your skin, and as everyone else said, for the first 15 minutes you can feel the cold and a little pinchy, but not pain. After 15 mins you really feel nothing. I was on my phone doing stuff the whole time. When she took it off, there was a block where it was frozen. After she massaged it, the block broke up and I was on my way. The area was cold to the touch and a little swollen, but now after about 5 hours, it's gone down and just a little numb. Not much bruising yet, I've been taking Arnacin since Monday. Will update with pics as the days go by and report my results. Going to do the other side next week.

Here is my (slightly) before picture, taken the day after my left flank procedure. Just did the right side yesterday. Will post updated pics.

The only thing I can report thus far is tenderness to the touch on both sides. I massage them whenever I think of it, and it hurts, but nothing too bad. I wanted to add though that for the last two days I have been extremely tired. Took a nap. Not sure if it has anything to do with the procedures, but I did hear some people got flu like symptoms, so maybe this was a slight case. Not sure. Otherwise, everything is fine. Still too early to tell if any fat loss.
