Treat to Complete remaining pads, December 15, 2017

After the July treatment, I went back December 2017 to use the remaining 8 pads on my flanks. Deb suggested that the pubic mons and the abs were looking good and recommended that my largest remaining fat deposits were flanks on the sides and back. It took two sessions, one session for each side. The first session was more painful than the second, for some reason. We had to back off from the 1.4 on the one side, but ramp up to the 1.4 on the second. It has never made sense tome why that is, except luck of pad placement and nerve location, I guess. The staff did what they could with ice packs to minimize the discomfort. Overall, the treatment and retreatment met my expectations. I would totally recommend Biosymmetry and Dr. Pate and his staff, without reservation. I will have to go back in the spring to get final pictures taken so I can post my results. The December treatment seems to be helping, but I am not outside of the 12 week window, yet.

July update and re-treatment

Since we are not local to the Wilmington area, we just managed to get back for retreatment and progress pictures. I retreated the mons and flanks on a new special Biosymmetry was running.

16 Week Before and after pictures

Biosymmetry sent me their official pictures they took. I definitely can see a difference. The lighting/shading is not the same, for one thing I had a tan in October and I don't now, but the flanks/abs and pubic mons are reduced. See what you think.

Dr. Pate was very personable and professional. He went over the procedure and answered all my questions. His staff and his office area are first rate. Deb, Shena, and all the staff were professional and easy to talk to. They shared their Sculpsure experiences and didn't pressure me for additional services. In fact, my wife was interested in one procedure and was told that they had not had good results and recommended not to do it. Overall very pleased. We'll go back for "after" pictures in February. I can't say enough nice things about Dr.Pate and his staff! My wife and I have both had Sculpture procedures and couldn't be happier with the results. They were honest and open with what areas respond well and what they had not seen work. We're going back this summer for additional work!
