I had coolsculpting done to improve my double chin...

$1,700

I had coolsculpting done to improve my double chin. I'm overall in good shape, weight 130 lbs. 5'1. I've seen the before and after pictures of coolsculpting results in the internet and I got excited because I always had this double chin I wanted to get rid off. I got a deal of 2 sessions for $1,700, I got my first session on Nov 7,2016 and the 2nd one on Nov 22nd. I wasn't happy with the results so they offered to do a 3rd session free of cost (March 2017). I got the third session done a couple of weeks ago. I'm disappointed I didn't get the results I wante. I still have this awful double chin, I whish I would had consulted with the doctor before doing it maybe he would have advised to do lipo instead and I would not had spend that $$ for no results. Remember coolsculpting only give you a 20% fat reduction. I guess I was not a good candidate for it. I would suggest a consulration with your p. Doctor before wasting your money. Sorry I don't have detailed before pictures, but pretty much the same no change.

The staff was very nice and professional, they gave me a third session free of charge. I'll keep you guys posted if anything changes but I really doubt it.

Definitely not worth it!! I also got the "deal" for two sessions at a different office. I'm 5'4, 120 lbs and didn't see any results either. I was left with post hyper-pigmentation and got my money back for both reasons.

How did you get your money back? Mine in Chesapeake VA will not call me back.

I'm sorry to hear that Courtney. I got a third free session done in March 2017, no money back and I really don't think they would do refunds. The lady told me the improvements are only guaranteed at 20% of fat reduction. I've seen pretty good review and results online with other people that's why I tried it. I would recommend for anyone getting Cool Sculpting to ask for pictures of before and after of people that have had the treatment done at the place you are choosing to do it. I didn't, I was just too blinded by the before and after pictures I saw online.

I didn't ask for it right away, I went to my 3m follow up, then I made another appointment at 5 months and in that email I simply said I didn't see any results, on top of that I now have been left with hyper pigmentation and overall I was not happy with the outcome. So I asked for my $ back and I'm sure they had time to discuss it between the time I sent the email and my appointment date. I approached the situation calmly and confident once I was there. The Doctor even said he would be ok with the refund also because PIH wasn't included in his consent form (as a side effect). It was only right that he should refund me and avoid trouble.

I saw the "best" Doctor in corona Del Mar/Newport beach area (I quote the cool-sculpting representative that attended my 5month follow up appointment) and even then, i didn't get the results.

They told me 20% also but the change was 0%. The rep told me I would love the change. I have the pictures, my husband can't see a change either. $9000 is over the top to see no results, you could have a tummy tuck for less than that and see a drastic change.

What Dr did you see in the area? I was researching a few in SoCal as well.

Hi missmika75, I didn't see a doctor before the treatment. A trained technican did the treatment for me. But I've heard good reviews from Dr. Lacombe at Artemedica in Santa Rosa, CA.

I agree with you. It is a complete scam! They got me for almost $9000 and my chin looks worse now. They sent me a certified letter to talk to the doctor and they will not call me back. I went to the one in Chesapeake VA on medical drive.

This is terrible. I'm sorry this happened. Skip Kybella, look up my Kybella Journey. Go straight to chin Lipo if you have more than a tablespoon of fat under the chin.
