WORTH IT$3,000
42 yr old divorced mother of three. 5'4" - 110lbs. I'm very active and live a really healthy lifestyle. I have excessive loose skin on my belly from the three pregnancies and weight loss after. A tummy tuck isn't an option for me as I cannot afford the down time. I'm hoping to have some tightening of the skin especially around my naval in particular. I work really hard at maintaining toned abs and really don't want to feel self conscious about the loose skin anymore.
Today is my appointment. Hoping the results are good enough to be able to wear a two piece this summer!!

Just had my session. It was more painful than I had anticipated, but still bearable. Julie, the nurse providing my care, was great about checking in and taking breaks as needed. We did 1200 pulses in 90 minutes or so. Maybe a bit longer.
The skin feels like I have a pretty good sunburn. There isn't any redness or visible burning.

Wow, you can already tell the difference! Your stomach was nice and flat before too!
How long before you will see the final results? A few weeks?

They told me I most likely wouldn't see results until about two months out. I'm quite pleased with what I've seen so far and it's only been a few hours!

I was told the pain is like a someone putting a cigarette out on your skin. Did you take Morphine or any other medication prior to the procedure?

I'm a bit surprised that I am noticing any results. Was totally prepared to be patient. I'm pleasantly surprised so far. All discomfort is gone.

What was your end result after all your treatments? Thanks for the info

It's only one treatment. Results can typically be seen between 2-6 months after the treatment. I will update in a month.

So far, so good. Right now I'm just having to be patient and see what's going to happen over the next few months. I do notice that the skin is tightening up and the elasticity is getting better

You look fantastic! You're the first person I've seen that I feel like I connect to to (belly-wise lol.) I'm going for cool sculpting on Thursday and I'm so excited but I'm scared that once the fat is gone the wrinkles will be worse. I'm dying to see your updates.

Looks promising, I'm looking to tighten loose tummy skin too. Do you have a monthly update?
