I just had my CoolSculpting complete and I am day 2. I had 4 areas done on my lower abdomen at one sitting. Yes, that was over 4 hrs in the chair. #1 was an eye opening. I have a high pain tolerance and the first one was not "painful" don't let them lie, it still is uncomfortable. I thought the most painful part was the post treatment massage. #2 was not bad. #3 I was getting over it and wanted it done. #4, I needed a little emotional support from my RN. Everything is numb still after day 2. I have swelling but no bruising. I will be back in 4 weeks for an update. Now, I am just numb, tingly and swollen. BTW, guys I used a SPANX after and that compression makes you feel so much better. I hope to throw that away when all this goes down. But sorry, there is discomfort...dont let them BS you.

Thanks for posting your experience. I go for my consult/first session tomorrow. Lots of mixed reviews on real self that has me a bit apprehensive about the pain and results. Hope it's smooth and speedy recovery for us both!

Congrats! The discomfort for me was only the massage 2 min. I hope your treatment go well. I did take a picture 2 days and will repeat in 1 week. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!~ You will be ok!

Can't wait to hear about your results.

Thanks...I will be week 1 on Thursday. The swelling had decreased. I have no bruising like they thought I would. I do have the tingly feeling but no pain. Now I just have to be patient. I have been wearing men's spanx top for support. It really helps "hold" the area. Good luck!

CoolSculpting Update

RandyK
Not Happy!
It has been since August 13th. No happy at all with the results (or lack of results) I was told I was a great patient for it. I wish I would have spent the $3000 on regular lipo. Sorry, I was really excited but I think you have to have about 2% fat for this procedure to work. I would not recommend. I gave it a try but NOT what they crack it up to be! Very disappointed. Stick with your Fitbit!
