SculpSure on Inner Thighs. Did Not Work - Vancouver, WA

I had 3 panels placed on each of my upper thighs where there were 2 small bulges of fat that rubbed when I walked. The rest of my legs were toned but I've always had these small pads of fat that I cannot get rid of and am at a healthy BMI of 23. I went in for a Sculpsure procedure in mid- January and after an initial consultation was deemed the perfect candidate for the procedure. I know full results are seen after 12 weeks and I am now only sitting at 11.5 weeks, however, there has been no improvement whatsoever in that area. I called up the clinic where I had the procedure done, and they said that I needed to wait the FULL 12 weeks before they would see me for a follow up. I highly doubt that all of the fat will just disappear in the next 4 days at the exact 12 weeks mark, but apparently the clinic is holding out for a miracle or something before they will see me. I am now going for a followup in 4 days which will put me at 12 weeks and 1 day since I had the treatment. I took measurements prior as well and they have remained the same and there is no noticeable difference in the rubbing or look of the upper thigh area. I have a feeling that they are going to offer me discounted further treatments. The actual treatment was very painful in the inner thigh area. I almost passed out when the machine was on full on my left thigh and I have a fairly high pain tolerance. The doctor said it was because there was a large nerve right under one of the panels. I was not forewarned about this and was only told I would experience some heating and then cooling of the area and that it should not cause any discomfort.
I would love to hear some feedback from others who have had SculpSure done (specifically on the inner thighs). I was wanting to get my stomach and upper arms done if this treatment was successful but I am glad I held out and did not purchase many additional sessions.
I am now considering CoolScuplting instead but am sort of concerned about the potential pain from nerve damage I had read that many experience after the procedure. Any feedback on either would be appreciated.

i just went for my 2nd sculpsure treatment on my inner thighs. my first one was about 7 weeks ago. i think i ser small improvement, hopefully when i go for the 12 week follow up I'll know more. My doctors oofice is good about giving me information if I call or email. The first time was aeful, but this one had lower temperature, i was positioned differently for comfort and I took ibuprofen before hand. i feel great now i just need to wait.

I had my outer thighs done. It was pretty painful but knowing the treatment was only 25 mins, I was able to suck it up and tolerate it. If I hadn't bought the package of 2 sessions, I'm not sure if I would've gone back for the 2nd treatment. So after 6 weeks I went in for round 2 and hadn't noticed a real big difference, I thought I could see a slight difference, but wasn't sure. It's been about 8 weeks since round 2 and I can definitely see a difference. It's not a huge difference but I'm happy. My BMI is around 21.5 but I had this bulge on my outer thighs that I could not get rid of even at my lowest weight (19 BMI). My legs definitely looked more toned in the outer thigh area. In fact, I'm going to call the office for round 3 for even better results!

I also had inner thighs done, spent over $5000 and received no results. I found it very painful and actually cried during one session. I have seen others that just had their stomachs done with nice results. Would not recommend for inner thighs.
