I tried CoolSculpting because I didn't want to...

I tried CoolSculpting because I didn't want to have surgery or have any downtime. I was told it was a pain free procedure and that I could back to working immediately after. I was able to go back to working out the next day but it wasn't a pain free procedure. Immediately after the procedure when they start the massage, it seriously burned bad for about 10 minutes. The days following the procedure, I had 4 straight days the pain was so bad I couldn't sleep. For $2250, my fat was reduced, but I would need several more procedures to get the result I want. At $562.50 per area (I had left and right flanks and left and right lower abs done (4 areas) I don't think it's worth it. Does it work? Yes, but it's very expensive. Also, notice in my after photos you can see my skin is more loose after the fat was eliminated. So I have decided to have a tummy tuck and lipo in May in Cali, Colombia at a cost of $2600. I know there will be pain and downtime but once it's done I will have the results I want.

The office was excellent and the staff was very nice. However, they don't inform you about the pain and the realistic results

Agreed nobody mentions the pain, swelling or itching:(

I just went for initial consultation yesterday and my first procedure is scheduled for 10 days from now. I was told to expect discomfort during and after procedure for up to 3 weeks, possible bruising, and itching. I guess it depends on who does your consult. My first treatment will be $4,800 ($750 per area) so your price looks good to me. I'm going to Ideal Image in Buford, GA.

The procedure was painful but, unlike you, at least I expected it. I can definitely see why they say wear the compression garments. Everything hurts if I don't. I was told that it only eliminates 25% of the fat and that is only 25% of the fat that is sucked in and frozen which looked to be about the size of a stick of butter at the most so only about ¼ stick of butter per suction applicator is all they even claim will be eliminated and that is not very much fat eliminated for that much pain and money. Had I looked at it a little more objectively before committing to it - I probably would not have proceeded. All I can do at this point is hope the pain and swelling go away quickly and hope that with my clean eating and exercise combined with the measly little 25% will be enough to get to where I want to be.

I had cool sculpting done too. It was very painful at the end. My skin now looks stretched out around my bellybutton, I wish I would've never done it.

For the cost and pain and I'm still not satisfied, it's just not worth e

I had a lot of pain. I think it is deceiving the way they make you think it's going to be slightly painful.

They did even say slight pain. They told me no pain at all. Totally not true

That would make me mad too. At least mine was honest when they said it would hurt. Even warned me that the massage would be the worst part.

That is good to know some get told the truth. How did it go. Did you get results you wanted?
