I'm a 35 year old single mom, who really needed some help in shedding the much hated mommy pooch that most moms have. I was having trouble toning and losing the remainder of the fat which just seemed to be a permanent part of me. I always thought that I would go the tummy tuck route, which seems to be the most popular way to get back the pre-pregnancy body back. However, a friend who is a laser tech, told me about CoolSculpting. To be honest, when I heard about it, it sounded very hokey. Like the next big hype that would eventually be deemed a bust. But, I couldn't help but be interested in it, as it is non-invasive, with no downtime. I started researching the procedure, including costs. I found a lot of reviews that were positive, so I decided to give it a try. Having also researched med spas in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I settled on Sante Med Spa in Southlake. They seemed to be the most knowledgeable, very patient with my dozens of questions and anxiousness, and were priced most competitively. My research paid off, as I am very happy I decided to do CoolSculpting, and moreover, chose to get it done at Sante.
What to expect:
I'm a realist. I know that I'm not going to get a flat tummy, bikini body within one session. I'm a size 14, and know that I'm not going to drop a few sizes. I do know that the end result will bring me the ability to ditch "mom jeans," and be able to wear more flattering clothes to compliment my newly boosted self-esteem!
When I went into Sante for a consultation, I felt like I knew it all. I had read all that I could find, and watched videos online. I was greeted warmly by the receptionist, and was taken back into the consulting room. The RN, one of several Sante CoolSculpting pros, explained the procedure to me. She also made me feel comfortable about it, and made sure I understood what my results would be. She then showed me on my body exactly where they would be applying the CoolSculpting device, and how it would shape my belly. What I really loved about Sante is that they did not try to oversell me anything. I didn't feel pressured to purchase my CoolSculpting package there. Nor did they try to make me feel like I needed to CoolSculpt other areas of my body.
I had been to one other consultation at another med spa, and I had walked out of there feeling worse about myself than when I had walked in. They had managed to mark every flaw, and pinch every place they thought I could use fat reduction in!
Cost wise, I was getting four different areas on my stomach CoolSculpted (4 hours) for far less than I had been quoted at other, equally reputable med spas. I signed up, and since they had an opening I started that very day.
I had been warned about intense pain, pins and needles, and a very icy feeling in the area that would be treated. I lay on the bed, and a very cold, wet gel soaked pad was placed on the area. The device, which looked like an oblong suction cup, was placed on top of the pad. The feeling of the fat being sucked into the cup was pretty weird. It felt like a vacuum on my belly, but I didn't feel the intense pain that I was warned of. I'm sure that everyone is different, with different thresholds of pain, and I may be on the more tolerant side of pain. But, it really didn't take my breath away like I was told it would.
Once the funny feeling subsided, and I became used to the machine, I sat back and watched some Netflix on an iPad that they gave me. An hour later, the suction cup was removed, and a machine was used to massage the area. That's it!
It's been a few weeks now, and over the span of that time, my stomach was a bit numb, and sensitive. Those feelings have since ended, and I feel great. I feel like my stomach may be a bit smaller, just the tiniest bit. I've been told that the full effect is achieved after 30-90 days. I'll post again with a follow-up. Overall, I'd give it two thumbs up, and would encourage anyone thinking about getting this procedure done to go for it. And, if you happen to be in the DFW area, I highly recommend Sante Med Spa.
