2 Month Update

so, I would say after 2 months, I can definitely tell a change in abs. absolutely NOTHING in thighs, and jury is out on arms. these photos seem like nothing, but sometimes it looks a little smaller. I would HIGHLY recommend you do a measuring tape on arms to really tell shrinkage. I haven't lost a single pound, but am not really trying either. the lower abs is where I can see the most new definition... and yes, I think I could bare my stomach in public in a bikini. I sure wish there had been something in the inner thighs, but there might be too much to work with to make something really noticeable. Will give another update at month 3 - and then I'll determine if I do the arms again... leaning that way!

Are you still happy with the outcome? I have lost about 15 lbs and want to get my lower belly done..

hi there - I know I owe picts, but as of right now - NO on the inner thighs, JURY OUT on the arms, but I'm so into the arms, I literally just got a 2nd treatment yesterday, and YES, on the abs. I am very happy with that, and had an unsolicited comment when I was wearing a swimsuit that I looked really "toned". So def don't recommend the inner thighs. Arms aren't as common, but I'm going for it... and yes, happy with what they are clearly known for. :-)

I think I would be happy with trying the stomach area...going for a consultation. I'm now deciding between doing this and doing a "Mommy Make-over" with mini tummy tuck. I'm so glad you are happy with the result !! Your pictures look great !!

Looking forward to your 3-month update! (Especially now that it's been six months since your last post) :)

I can tell in your thighs and all over your body. Looking great! What if you did it one more time on the inner thigh? Or do you have a lot of muscle?

nothing really crazy to report - every now and then I can itch my stomach and you can still feel remnants of numbness. There are some days where I feel like I can see a difference, but others where I can see no change at all. I've posted photos of all areas today.

Fab results!!! How do you like your arms?
November 25, 2014
I can't tell a difference yet... but arms will be the place I do a 2nd treatment if I need to... that's the most visible to people, so if I have to spend more $$, i'll do it there.

really? That's what I wouldn't do because of fear Of dents too much taken out and it is noticeable. I left mine as is. :) I think 1 time on arms is good. The arms are very difficult. It does take 3-4 months to see your final results. Happy continued Healing!

how were the thighs. i was told that they couldn't really get results for thighs. Does it work inner or outer thighs
November 25, 2014
I did inner thighs, but still too early - as of 1 month in, I've seen no difference I can tell. i'll tell you the thighs were the least painful (not that any area was that painful), but thighs were a non-event.

I had mine done on flanks and back around bra fat. Exact same experience. It is two weeks today still somewhat numb on sides and itchy. Working out, some days feel improvements others just not sure!

Thighs yesterday - Post 1 Week Abs & Arms

Did thighs yesterday - that was the easiest of all 3 parts. Some people do both at the same time, I only could do one because I was nervous my hip would start to hurt. At the office I go to, if you go 15 minutes and have to stop, you lose the "point"....

Anyway - there was very little pain, couldn't even tell I had something done. Little sore today, but really not a big deal at all!

My arms are back to normal - no numbness. Minor numbness on abs still... now the waiting begins! They told me to make an appointment at 8-10 weeks from now. I have no idea why the photos are uploading sideways.
