I paid for three treatments but only had time to do my upper back and one row across the abs above the belly button. Anyway, the abs treatment was excruciating at the highest level of 1.1 but was tolerable when dialed down to 1.0. I had no trouble at all at the highest level in the back. Unpleasant but nothing terrible. My therapist says the more fat you have the less it hurts. Unlike other reviewers, I had no swelling, pain, or other symptoms after the treatment. Will go to do lower back this week I hope. Will post after photos in 4 weeks!

I'm so interested to see what your results will be like. My body is the same...not tons of fat, but could use a bit of sculpting.

Had my abdomen and flanks done last week too. Interesting comment about having more fat and hurting less. I was kind of concerned that it wasn't more painful when I had mine at the highest setting most of the time. I'm not too far away from you in MD.
Love the print on your bikini - I have the rash guard that matches.

I can definitely see a change. It worked on you! not that you needed much done. I'm 5'3, 112 lbs, BMI 20 - I'm having my small flanks done. I hope it doesn't hurt afterwards for days like some people mentioned! I was hesitant cause its not much fat, but from what I'm reading this treatment is ideal for people with BMI's lower than 30.

Did it work for you? I'm thinking of doing it too but I'm afraid to spend all that money and it not working.

I'm also petite but I have a little bit of fat that never seems to go away.

Absolutely! Did you see the week 10 comparison photos?

How long apart are the pictures. I don't notice a bit of difference and frankly the before is more attractive. What exactly are you trying to lose cuz you look perfect to me.

If I paid over $3,000 for that I'd be mad.

Did you look at the week 10 photos? I definitely think there was a difference but maybe not enough for you.

first of all don't be stupid. your before pictures are perfect to me and i don't see what the problem is. second of all it's not what's "good enough for me" i was simply stating that if i paid 3,000 id be mad.

I had Sculpsure done and don't believe it does anything. I think it's a gimmick. I have seen Coolsculping results but no result from Sculpsure. It's painful and expensive and doesn't work at all. It is my belief that if anyone thinks this does in fact work, they must have lost weight through diet and think it's Sculpsure

Treatment on midback today

jadeite1967September 30, 2016

I had purchased three sessions and today had the third session done across the midback. We stayed on the highest setting the whole time. Pain was searing and intense for 5-8 second intervals with cooling in between. Not sure yet if I'm seeing any change from the sessions on the upper abs and upper back yet but it's only been a week. I will post after 3 weeks.

2 weeks later after upper and upper back treatment

jadeite1967October 6, 2016

I had three areas treated. It's two weeks from the treatment of my upper abs and upper back and one week from the mid back treatment. I think I can see a difference in the abs! What do you think?

I personally think if you have to stare at a photo and try as hard as you can to see a difference, then it didn't work. And if it's that subtle how do you know that you are thinner from just diet.
