Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I saw some great reviews for Skinney Medspa and...
I saw some great reviews for Skinney Medspa and decided to book a free consultation. While there I was impressed with the facility, and everyone seems so nice. In particular the physician I met with there was really easy to talk to and I felt like I was having a great conversation with a girlfriend who was non-judgemental and completely understanding of why I felt self conscious about my stomach.
I have to admit though, although I read up on Coolsculpting and did a lot research online, I was not as prepared as I should have been with a list of questions to ask. I was pretty much at the very very beginning of considering the procedure, but after speaking with them, I decided I wanted to go for it.
They made it sound so great - no down time, little to no pain, just some discomfort.
I made an appointment for a Saturday (yesterday) and was surprised that the physician I spoke with would not be the one who would actually be performing the procedure.
We took a couple before shots of the front, back, and sides.
The technician grabbed my stomach pinched the flab, made some marks with a yellow crayola marker!
The application of the wet squishy towel was not bad, neither was the suction from the applicator. About 45 minutes into the first side, I did knock into the applicator a bit and it hurt for a couple of minutes but then the feeling went away. 1 hr flies by when you're watching netflix on an ipad they provide.
Sure enough when the applicator is removed, I look like I've got a stick of frozen butter stuck on me, and the massage was as uncomfortable as I had been warned, from reading reviews online.
Bathroom break - and then it was on to the next side.
The massage on the other side seemed to hurt a lot more, and when it was over, I felt like I had to rest for a few minutes before getting up. The pain made me feel almost nauseous.
I wasn't sure if I was supposed to check out or anything, but I got dressed and waited at the front desk where they scheduled me in for a 3 month follow up (what? thats the next time I will be hearing from them??) and the lady casually mentioned the location of envelopes for tips. (Am I supposed to tip for coolsculpting???)
Anyway, the rest of the day went by without any major issues. My stomach basically feels really numb and I am praying that no one knocks into it - I can't imagine the pain!
I'm on day 2 now, and I've run 12 miles as part of my training plan. I was worried about the jiggling, which did cause a bit of pain, but I wore a tight tank top, and it helped a lot.
I'm reading other reviews now about the stabbing pains you get 1 week into the procedure and I am SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. NO ONE warned me about it! So I have no idea what I've gotten myself into....

More of the same
Feels swollen today, and more of the same numb feeling.
Some tiny stabbing pains
So I've been reading that eventually I'll be experiencing some pins and needles kind of feeling, like when you can finally feel your frozen fingers.
I guess that may be what is happening now?
Worked out this morning (running), made sure to wear shorts with a high waistband to minimize the jiggling. The jiggling is really the only time when I feel slight discomfort and tenderness.
I can feel a bit of twitching in my stomach area, but it doesn't really cause any pain.
Visually still looks the same.
Numbness still there.
