WORTH IT
I was first introduced to Coolsculpting approx 3 years ago. When I heard about the procedure I was super hesitant and really didnt believe it would work, but I decided to try it anyways. I was treated about in the lower abdominal area first at the office of Dr Brian Young called Body Sculpting & Spa Services in St. Clair Shores MI. When the technician first placed the suction head on my abs I was so shocked to feel how much tissue the head sucked in. It didnt feel to uncomfortable just a major pulling feeling and almost like some one tied a corset really tight around me. The tech then turned on the cold which only lasted about 5 min, then any intense feeling seemed to disappear. After the first application was over (1hr later) the tech removed the head and to my surprise there was this large mound of frozen tissue just sticking out from my ab! She called it the stick of butter said it was good then massaged it down. It felt weird almost tender but numb. We did the other side everything felt the same way as the first application. After my treatment I was able to get up and go about my day. I had tenderness for about a week nothing that prevented me from doing anything. But if my husband grabbed me or my cat tried kneading my tummy it was very sensitive and didnt like it. I then played the waiting game for about 4 weeks and started to panic that nothing was happening. I spoke with the tech and she stated that for the best visual results wait until 8-10 weeks. On the 8th week I just grabbed the area and the stubborn small bulge I had was significantly smaller! It was like it happened over night. Visual everything looked better and my clothes fit better as well. I was a Coolsculpting believer!!! I have since done my flanks, inner and outer legs, arms and under chin over the past 3 years. So areas were a little more stubborn then others and I had to do a second treatment but I did not mind since I knew that the procedure worked. With some areas I did feel a little discomfort when the applicator head was removed but it only lasted about 5 mins, which for me getting the result was worth it! This procedure is fantastic for those areas that have just "always been there" and nothing you do seemed to do budged them. Im very happy with my body, I was before, but even more so now!

How did it work for your arms? I had good results on my abdomen, and am considering doing my arms.

It worked awesome on the arms. I normally have larger arms no matter what I did and could never really get them in nice jackets that were my size. But now I can no problem. I did under the arms and also the inside of the arm, and am so happy with the results. Finally have more defined skinny arms!

Hello, I'd like to try coolsculpting on my knees and was wondering if you remember the name of the machine used on you? Congrats on you success! Thanks in advance, Dosia

If it is your inner knee (the bulge on the side) I used the cool fit head with the Coolsculpting machine. I have also got the cool mini head for above the knee both worked very well

Thanks for the information, I get mine done on Friday, a little nervous with all the reviews, but if it works, it'll be worth it.
