CoolSculpting

I had my upper and lower abdomen done, upper in one session and lower in another session. The upper session was more uncomfortable than the lower, each session left the area tender for at least a couple of weeks, like it was bruised but no bruising showing, but I felt this would be worth it when there were noticeable results. Two and a half months after, I had a wedding I was in and hoped for at least a little change, nope. After 4 months and almost $4000, not one person has said I look like I have lost weight, my clothes are just as tight as the day I inquired about the procedure. When I went back after the wedding for my follow up and I said how disappointed I was, she pointed out this minuscule difference on my "after" photo (my "after" photo would never be used in one of their pamphlets). I pointed out that no one is going to see that because when I put on my clothes I look exactly the same. She was supposed to get back to me the following week about redoing the upper portion, haven't heard from her yet, even when I left a message for her after a month from when she said she would get back to me.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had one session on my lower abdomen. I am not overweight but just have some fat on my abdomen that I cannot get rid of even with exercise. I did not notice any results at all. I did not return for additional sessions. My abdomen was much more sore than I had anticipated. I was not impressed by the results.

I spent $4500 on 8 treatments - which was actually two appointments. This is a little misleading, as one would think 8 treatments would be 8 appointments. I misunderstood or it wasn't clarified. But onto the treatment. It isn't pleasant, but the treatment was nothing compared to the side effects. They will tell you numbness can occur - I had it for 6 weeks. The bruising was also an issue. However, in fairness, I bruise easily, so I wasn't surprised. I dreaded the second treatment, and had I not paid...the side effects were not as bad.

Is my stomach flatter - yes. Would I spend $4500 to get the results - no.

I think this is an absolute disservice that doctors are doing to their clients.

I attended the presentation by the company that makes the machines and knowing that the place I went to is highly reputable, I got caught on the lie and invested 4 grand for nothing.

I will NEVER recommend this procedure to anyone.

I went to the doctor to discuss options for my double chin. The doctor pushed CoolScupting because it was the "least expensive" option. I wish I had spent the money on the more expensive procedure. First off, the videos of people smiling during this procedure are BS. It is extremely painful. Since it was on my face it may have been worse. Think of having brain freeze for a solid hour. Then when the remove the apparatus, they have to massage the area which is excruciating. I wanted to punch the poor girl in the face and I am not a violent person. It has been almost 9 months and there is absolutely no difference. If you have a couple of grand and a high tolerance for pain, go for it. Otherwise, save up for surgery.

I had CoolSculpting done in Sussex, WI approximately two years ago. It was for my lower belly area. Saved a long time for the cost. Had two treatments of three each time across my belly (left side, front, and right side). I was in a lot of pain after the first treatment. They recommended a pain cream which didn't do anything. Came back for my second treatment of three again on my lower belly, and had horrible pain during the procedures. I didn't know if I'd make it through each hour. Two to three weeks afterwards, horrible pain. I had to contact their doctor for pain meds. And I usually have a high pain intolerance. My tummy area looks worse than before. They "all of a sudden" said I'd need four to six more treatments! I couldn't afford that and they were never upfront with me. I would never have agreed to do this if I'd have known. They told me I was in the 5% that this does not work on. Seriously! I would never recommend this to anyone. I wish I could turn back the clock and not have done this and saved myself over $4000!

Not sure if it has changed but I had this very procedure done two years ago. I weigh 120 but had a couple of problem areas in my inner thighs and waist. It seemed to work almost immediately until about a week later when everything went back to looking exactly like it did before. I personally think it is a scam, sorry!

It appears from the reviews that CoolSculpting works for some, but it did not work for me. I did it two times on my lower abdomen and two times on my upper abdomen. I saw no difference and if anything my abdomen is bigger. The place I went was very professional and the technician was very nice and accommodating but the procedure just did not work. I weigh more than I want to weigh but on the charts I am not overweight. I just have a stomach after having four children. I am sorry to say I spend a lot of money with nothing to show for it. I hope it does work for others.

My boss who is a doctor and I had CoolSculpting last year and we were advised two treatments on the area. After the first treatment I was advised not to do it again - so I did another area. My boss had two treatments on one area. Neither of us saw any results and it was over $2000! Biggest waste of money - still upset by it. I put on 3 kgs which have now gone but told that was the reason I couldn't see results but still can't. Was promised something that wasn't delivered. They tried to show me before/after photos unless you had the right angle and magnifying glass you could see no difference! Don't do it!

I had loose skin from a pregnancy of twins. It sucks in your loose skin but does not make the skin go away. I wanted a less invasive way to get rid of like my skin, but the only way to do that is a tummy tuck. CoolSculpting is a joke and cost me money I could have used toward surgery.

They looked and looked at before and after pics and had a very hard time finding any results. I had to send to someone else to try to find another difference. Save your money.

I was told I would be the IDEAL candidate for CoolSculpting. I had a normal BMI and I was within a few pounds of my goal weight. It was just the "stubborn fat" I wanted to get rid of. For the record, I do exercise (for a living, as in my JOB) and eat rather healthy. Needless to say, it does not work. I was told it could take a year to see results! It has been two and there have been none despite my efforts to continue exercising and eating better than ever! It's a scam and I do NOT recommend wasting your money!
