The experience itself is great. Awkward is the best way to describe the feel of the gelpad and the suction. Then its a little painful when its removed and the skin starts to thaw out, but mostly its just odd. I have had this done twice now on my love handle area.

The first time I didnt really notice a difference. The second time we did it a little lower and more towards my back rather than the sides. The results this time are noticable and I'm pleased I decided to go in for a second treatment

They do fit differently, I've noticed especially in my shorts that they are quite looser. I know its a smaller difference on me than other people (I probably could have gotten better pics) but I definitely do notice something!

Thanks for the pictures!!!  I feel like you look more toned and curvy now.  I guess the trick is having it done in the right areas. :)
