Please talk to me about Coolsculpt

[Fillybuster]

Has anyone tried it? Did it work? Was it painful? How many sessions did you need to get results?

I've been thinking about trying this for my flabby tummy for a while: I'm mostly in great shape - probably the fittest/strongest I've ever been, and at the bottom end of my weight range - but 3 dcs, and at the age of 47, no amount of sit-ups, crunches, and planks is going to shift the flabby bits!

So, has anyone tried it? Do you recommend it? And where to go?

Thanks

Anyone?

I tried it about three years ago (I was a bit older than you are now) after I'd lost a fair bit of weight and wanted to lose the last wobbly bits. The explanation of what it was supposed to do sounded great, the treatment was ok, but to be honest I didn't notice any real difference afterwards, not immediately or later on. They do say the full effects will show in six weeks, but I think that's a bit of a cover-all (cynical, moi??). Maybe it was just me, but I wouldn't do it again.

Isn’t this the procedure that the supermodel Linda Evangelista said has deformed her or something like that ? That it made her put on weight and is now suing them for millions ?

Came to say exactly this. Be careful @Fillybuster if you are going for it and do your research

@GreekGod & @AnaViaSalamanca you're right - that's partly (mainly!) why I want to find out whether anyone on here has had it and if it worked for them.

@abbey44 thank you. That's very disappointing!! Was it uncomfortable and how many treatments did you have?

Sil had it done. She said it made no difference at all and was extremely painful.

As more and more people have the procedure done, it turns out PAH isn't as rare as first thought.

You may need to go with liposuction

Linda evangelists!!! Google when it goes wrong

To be honest, I can't remember much about it now, other than it was a strange feeling, a bit like my flab was being hoovered into a strong vacuum and went very cold - that was a bit uncomfortable. If it had worked I'd have been really happy with it, but I really didn't notice any difference and stopped at the one treatment (it was about an hour and a half, I think). I never did achieve the flat stomach I'd dreamed of. Maybe I've got a bit of PAH as well...?!
