Gained Inches Instead of Lost

I was talked into this procedure by one of the technicians at my dermatologist's office. She bragged that everyone loses inches and how easy it is. I did everything I was told and made 3 appointments, each a few days apart. I walked for an hour after each treatment and drank over a liter of water (as I was instructed). Oddly, when I went for my second treatment and they measured my waist, I was an inch larger than I'd been two days before at the first treatment. Then the tech measured me immediately after that second treatment and I was another inch bigger! I hadn't eaten during that time of course. I'd just laid there. I was assured that this would be reversed so did the third treatment. We finally realized on the last treatment that it was blowing me up rather than slimming me down. I GAINED 3 INCHES AROUND MY WAIST. It's been about 6 months now and IT NEVER WENT AWAY!!!! IT'S PERMANENT!! Maybe this works for some people, but beware.
