Hi, everybody. I wanted to tell you about my CoolSculpting experience from about, it's
been a year and a half now. So I had the love handles because I wanted
to have more of a curve. I wanted to have more of a curvy butt as opposed to more of
a square butt. And those little love handles on the side can make your butt look a lot
more square. And I didn't want that. So I went to have CoolSculpting done to get
rid of that about a year and a half ago. And I did a lot of research online and I looked
at a lot of before and after pictures. But the problem with the before and after pictures
is that if you gain any weight or if you lose any weight, it's going to really skew the
results. And it takes three months for the full effect of the CoolSculpting to kick in.
So I went to do the CoolSculpting. I noticed a difference. It was great. It totally got
rid of the area, even though it says only just maybe I think it was 20 or 25% that it
says, but it really did make a difference and it was totally worth it. And it certainly
targeted the areas. So did it hurt? No, it didn't hurt. It was
fine. What happens though is after the CoolSculpting, they put the suctions on and there's tons
of videos that show what that looks like. They put the suction on any way and it's fine.
It got cool. It was absolutely totally comfortable throughout the process. And I was a little
bit concerned about that. But the part that hurt, and it did hurt was
the massage afterwards. Now they need to massage the area afterwards and the more and the harder
they massage, the better the effect will be. So they did the massage afterwards and that
part really hurt. So how did it hurt? What it felt like was if you were to take a bruise
and do a deep tissue massage on a bruise. And that's what it feels like. So it hurts,
yes. Is it bearable? Absolutely. Not a problem. You have to wait it out. It hurts, but it's
worth it. The harder the massage again, the more it breaks it up and the more of the fat
that you'll flush. I was totally happy with the results and it was worth it.
But again, I caution you to look at the before and afters. Don't make your decision based
on those before and afters. Because if there was extra weight loss, then it's going to
show that it was more effective than it really was. Or if there was, if somebody had gained
weight, then you're not ... Well, oh, actually that's a really good point. After my procedure,
I gained five pounds. I want to say maybe six months later, it started, during the whole
start of COVID. I gained five and I did not gain weight in that area. So that's actually
something to note. But if I had lost weight, then all have any
before and after pictures would be completely skewed from that because it doesn't get rid
of all your fat cells. It gets rid of a percentage of them. So if you lose weight, the remaining
percentage will shrink down, it will amplify what you think the effects of CoolSculpting
was. So be realistic. Take a look at what you want to remove and just picture that 20%
gone. I've also had truSculpting done, truSculpt.
But I will talk about that on another video. I just wanted to really get out there to be
careful with the before and afters. It is effective. It doesn't hurt except for that
massage after, which really hurts. And it's comparable to deep tissue massage on a big
bruise. So if you're thinking about doing it, I would highly recommend it. I think it's
great. I think a lot more people are doing it than what you would expect. There's a lot
of people, for example, bodybuilders, they go in. That little bit of extra fat that they
can't reduce, they go and do that. The other thing too is that it's not immediate.
It takes 12 weeks, three months, two to three months to see the full effect of it. So you
do need to be patient and you need to know that you're not going to see results right
away. And as long as you're okay with that, you won't be disappointed. And that's it.
There was a little bit of bruising. There was some bruising. But as long as you're not
wanting to get into a bathing suit right away, then you shouldn't have to worry about that.
It'll clear up within a couple of weeks, the bruising, it's fine. It actually wasn't that
bad for me, but I know some people do get more bruising than others.
Anyway. Good luck. If you're thinking about getting it done, I do recommend it. And stay
tuned for the video on CoolSculpting versus truSculpt 3D. That's coming up next. Bye.
