Painful, ineffective and left a scar

I had Trusculpt ID on my upper arms today, four paddles (two on each arm). I was told the treatment is relatively painless and can even be like a hot stone massage. But during the session the pain very quickly got close to unbearable. At about 8 minutes in, I had to get the practitioner to turn the machine down because it was too much. I get Velashape on my legs and the pain from Trusculpt ID completely outweighs that.

After the treatment, I also noticed two little welts on my arms. They seem to have gotten smaller throughout the day, but I think they might be burn blisters. Having experienced this, I did some digging on Reddit and Real Self and it seems some other people have experienced this too.

I can't say anything to the results yet, I will post updates closer to the 12-week mark, but I won't be getting it again because of the pain (which means I'm limited to whatever results I see after one session). This is mainly a post just to say, prepare yourself for some pain if you choose this procedure. I know everyone is different, but it's not completely painless as advertised.

It’s been five months since my treatment and the results are completely unnoticable. My arms are exactly the same as before even though at my 12-week follow up the practitioner tried to say there was. I really wouldn’t bother with this I feel like it’s a total waste of money - maybe it’s because I had to ask them to turn it down that it’s not as effective, but one of the blisters has turned into a permanent scar (pictured) so dread to think what damage keeping it up on high would have done.
