My belly is flabby even when I'm at my thinnest. I decided to get Coolsculpting with z-wave to treat myself to a better me. As a very busy mom, I did not want down time and was not interested in surgery so I thought this would be a good alternative.
I got 4 areas treated in my abdomen with the smaller Cool Advantage applicator. First the friendly Medical Aesthetician took my before pictures. Then, I lied down on a Spa like bed and she cleaned the treated area with a disinfectant. She then put a protective gel on my skin. It looks like one of those collagen masks you buy at the pharmacy but it is very sticky.
Then came the applicator. I felt no discomfort with the suction. When the cooling begins, it takes about seven minutes to get used to the cold with each application. It is not painful but it is very uncomfortable. After that, it's easy sailing! I watched movies on Netflix, had a snack, and at one point I ALMOST FELL ASLEEP! Lol! Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. Getting the applicator removed did not hurt, nor did the quick massage or the z-wave treatment.
Afterwards, I felt a bit light headed. My belly was a bit numb but also tender. My skin felt as if it had been sunburned and was red, especially where the borders of the applicator had been. Besides that, I went on with my normal activities. I'm a little tender but no downtime so far and overall a great experience!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will work!

Although my belly has been numb and a little bit tender in certain areas, everything has been easy so far and I've been doing my normal activities. At day 11, my belly is less numb and less tender. My belly seems larger to be than pre-coolsculpting. Maybe, I'm still swollen. Hoping to start seeing results in a few weeks time.

My stomach is feeling almost like before the Coolsculpting except for a tiny little amount of numbness. I have yet to notice a difference in appearance or size but to be fair, I just came back from vacation and eating healthy has been difficult during this period. I really hope this was worth the almost $4000 I spent (taxes in, the amount I posted was before tax).
