Last June I shared with you all that I was going to be receiving CoolSculpting treatments.
I wrote about how I was really excited to have them done and even more eager to see the results. As far as the treatments go, I had 8 done. Spread out over two days, four on each day. During the treatments, I relaxed and worked on my laptop, watched TV and had a delicious lunch brought to me. The Dr. made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions.
Coolsculpting is a non-surgical way to get rid of unwanted fat in the abdomen, flank (love handles) and thighs that has not responded to diet and exercise.
When I first went to my consultation the Dr. and I talked about the areas that I wanted to see the most change, like my lower abdomen area. When treatment day came around he already had a plan and everything went smoothly.
I found that the hardest part of treatment was the wait after it was done because CoolSculpting is not an immediate fix. Patients typically see a 20-25 percent reduction of fat in the treated area, with results as early as three weeks. The most dramatic results are typically observed 1-3 months after treatment.
I really started to see results at the two month mark… and now that I’m at three months past treatment the results are easy for everyone to see.
The first step in looking my best was to have a free consultation. You can get one too by visiting the consultation request page ( please note there are few limited markets, like San Diego where the free consultation is available). I learned a lot about the CoolSculpting procedure at my free consultation including that it is the only cold-based, non-surgical body contouring treatment that is cleared by the FDA to treat unwanted fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.
Non-surgical was a big deal to me, and unlike other surgical procedures designed to reduce fat, the CoolSculpting procedure does not involve surgery, anesthesia or downtime.
More than 1.5 million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed in over 70 countries around the world. The technology was developed by Harvard scientists and is based on science of Cryolipolysis®, a process demonstrating that when fat cells are exposed to extreme cold, they die, and are naturally eliminated from the body for good. During the CoolSculpting procedure, non-invasive applicators deliver precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area to specifically target underlying fat, leaving surface skin and other surrounding tissue unaffected.
Now let’s talk results.
I almost feel like saying nothing because these pictures really speak for themselves. Can you believe the difference? I could feel my clothes starting to fit differently about 1 month after treatment but I couldn’t have dreamed that the results would be this good at three months. My doctor even said that I might see even more resulting this next month.
I lost a total of almost 11 inches so far. I couldn’t have been more happy with the results.
The CoolSculpting procedure is available through an elite network of CoolSculpting centers worldwide.
The complete list of licensed dermatologists, plastic surgeons and leading aesthetic practices offering the CoolSculpting procedure can be found on www.coolsculpting.com.
If you have been looking for a solution to unwanted fat I really encourage you to request a free consultation so that you can learn more about the procedure and how it would help you.
Oh wow! What a difference! I want to try this so bad! There are some things that I am not happy about when it comes to my body. My sides and stomach are flabby from having three kids. :/
I have been thinking about doing this. Glad it worked for you.
This sounds very interesting. How long does it last?
Woah AMAZING results! I want to get this done!
I would get my upper arms for sure!
Wow! Your results are amazing. What is the prognosis for the future? Will you keep the inches off or will they sneak back on you? And if they do, can you repeat the process?
I am blown away by the difference. You’re an awesome example of how well it works.
Oh wow, the treatment really worked for you. I love that this is non surgical.
You can really notice the difference. Great that it is not an invasive surgical procedure too.
The difference is very obvious. If I were to do this too, I would go the non surgical way.
Your results are amazing, is this something you will have to repeat? or is it once and done
Wow, amazing results! I would love to know how long this lasts, because I could use it on my waist as well!
Hi Kristen, Here is what it says on their website. “CoolSculpting patients can start to see results as early as 3 weeks after treatment. The results are long-lasting, with some studies showing durable results up to 5 years after treatment.1
It is known that the exposure to cooling causes the fat cells to begin a process of natural removal, which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The fat cells in the treated area are gently eliminated through the body’s normal metabolism process, like fat from food. The elimination of fat cells as a result of the CoolSculpting procedure is expected to last about as long as fat cells removed by invasive procedures such as liposuction.”
That does sound good. I sure wish they had it where I live.
The results you had looks really nice! Good for you! This is great “good to know” information should i ever really want to consider other options.
This looks great! I’ve heard of it but never really looked into it. Maybe now I will 🙂
When I see the word non-surgery you got my attention. Good for you
That got my attention too!
Really intrigued! I should definitely try this!
Look at how good your figure looks did it hurt when you got it done?
That is amazing!! I’ve never heard that technology before? Looks really awesome and cool.
I have never heard of this. So glad it worked for you.
I have never heard of Coolsculpting before but I would so love to do this for sure. The pictures do really speak for themselves. I would love these treatments because they don’t include all the bad things that surgery brings. Thanks for sharing the information.
