Since I was a teen, I always had cellulite and was never happy with my butt or legs. My husband suggested getting treatment. I didn't want to spend the money, but after a lot of thought I decided to do it. This seemed like the best treatment option for cellulite.
The treatment was more painful than I expected. It was the numbing part that was painful and if the area wasn't numb enough. I had about 100 areas treated. It's only been one day so far, but I am VERY sore and tender to the touch. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I think it was just because there was so many spots treated unlike most people that have it done.
I couldn't find the Spanx recommended, but I did buy some other versions I can use while I wash the one they gave me. I did wash it today already (1 day later) due to the blood that went through the bandages. I didn't prepare well enough for the bandages. I did take them off 24 hours later and there was still some bleeding. I think it was due to the bandages being stuck to the skin. It was like picking off a scab. I let it dry and wrapped towels around me for a few hours and then put on my clean Spanx.
I will post pictures as I progress. I have been taking a lot of Tylenol for the pain. I am hoping it will be worth it and that I will be happy with it once I am healed.

I think you are going to have some decent results :) Please continue to post because I am so curious about the results!!!

Thank you! I do see a difference now, but I will be curious to see the final results after all the swelling and bruising is gone.

Who did you do it with? Was it the same place dr Stephen Gitt works? Please keep posting aw I'm so curious!!! Really considering doing this procedure at this location. Thanks!

Yes, it was the same place as Dr. Gitt. This was the only place I found near by that did the procedure. His nurse practitioner did the procedure and does most of them now. I really liked her and she takes her time. Since I had so many areas to work on, I was there 4.5 hours total. This includes from arrival time to leaving. The procedure took about 3 hours though and the rest was mostly prep time.

Hope you get the results your hoping for. It looks like you are in so much pain. How much did the procedure costs? Keep us posted.

Thanks, I do too. I am still in pain. I really didn't think I would still be hurting by this point.

Good luck, and do keep posting results. I hope this works!

Thank you! Me too! I know it looks better already, so I just have to wait for final results.

I'm here in Phoenix too and I'm highly considering this. Anything you'd suggest would help with the pain during procedure? I'm a big baby unlike you

Well, you can't take pain medication until after. No Tylenol even days before the procedure. I took half an anxiety pill because I was really nervous. I was told though that you have to have a driver if you take anything like that, which is why I only took half of one. It doesn't help for pain though. I would ask if they have any other suggestions. I am not sure if you have as many areas to treat as I did. If not, you will probably do much better since there won't be as many areas, which also means less pain.
