Coolsculpting is NOT Worth it!
I had the procedure done twice like recommended. Not one person noticed a difference. They still make suggestions on what I should try including coolsculpting until I told them I had tried it. I did lose 15 lbs which I think makes my abdomen area seem worse when my thighs and butt got smaller. I know just use a gel pack on my abdomen area while watching tv in hopes that it's keeping my abdomen from getting worse.
Two weeks later...
The bruising and swelling is gone. Ya! It really wasn't so bad. Numbness went away after 5/6 days. Now I'm waiting to see results. I've been keeping up at the gym. Lost 2-3 lbs. Now that the swelling is gone I can barely fit into my jeans again. I'll update in 2 more weeks.
Highly Recommend Esana.
Was pleasantly surprised with the staff and procedure. I was a bit nervous but she made me feel like we're good friends. She explained/warned me of everything prior to doing it. That has it's pros and cons. I'm the type of person that if you say it hurts, my imagination makes it 10 times worse. It really wasn't that bad. I would say tolerable in my case. I had my upper and lower ab region done. The cold film wasn't so cold. I expected it to be a lot worse because I was prewarned. The suction on the lower ab was acceptable. Initially for about 20 seconds you feel the suction but by the time you realise it that part is done. In my case if you are talking or watching a show on my ipad you barely notice. Then for about 2-4 minutes there is a tingly prickly feeling which goes away for the most part. Finally, it's basically turn your show on or play candy crush to pass hour of time. When it's removed, it is red and numb but prickly. The message wasn't so bad at all. The only part you feel is the cold around the edge of the area that was treated. When it came to wiping off the gel stuff that felt scratchy. Not sure if it was the gauze or the unfreezing part but still tolerable. When it came to the upper abs the same thing was done. The difference was the suction. The upper ab area was more sensitive. I asked why and she said because there is less fat so it pulls up easier. I just felt uncomfortable if I moved. No candy crush during the lower abs. I turned on the ipad and watched a show which made it go by fast. After the device was removed from the upper ab, the lower ab/pelvic region had already turned to it's normal color but still a numb. She did the same massage, wipe off, weighed me and off to the gym I went with no issues even with the ab machines.
Within 2 - 3 hrs I had noticed a bit of swelling, 24 hrs. later I have a few bruise marks around the edge of the suction area on the upper ab. Today they are purple and some red, slightly sensitive. My lower ab area still seems numb and now hard. Not the usual jelly belly. I'm taking this as a good sign. The upper area is tender but is normal now other than the spotted bruise line.
All in all it was a pleasant experience and not half as bad as I thought. I am glad I had read reviews on here to see what I was getting into. I am one who thinks worse case scenario in hopes of being pleasantly surprised. If it works, I may do my thighs. I would put a pic up but I can't figure out how.

Provider Review
Ideal Image
She was a nurse assistant. I think they called her a RNA. Registered nurse assistance? I think she was just a college student on break. They say they have PAs but who's the doctor? I don't think I need a doctor for this. I have no medical issues. It's like working a vacumm cleaner in one spot, stationary. Turn timer on and it turns off. Pretty simple. Message when done. The sales girl couldn't get through her sales pitch quick enough. She just wants to sell it and have you come back for another sculpting. They have quick and easy financing.
