Cool sculpting?

*not

Sorry! Idk how on earth “Nikki” got thrown in there.

I actually looked into it for that same reason. Once you really look at them, seems like they do absolutely nothing and guarantee nothing. Reviews I read from all over were terrible.

And TAUNT, not taint. Maybe I need a nap? Lol

I actually just watched a video review of someone doing this, and she didn't have a great experience. I'll link it if you want to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHfLTC7SqpY

Honestly, the whole thing feels a little psudosciency to me, and personally I would spend my money on a personal trainer or a gym membership rather than a "quick fix". I have no personal experience with this, though, so I could be wrong.

Any of these things are sadly a trap for people. It's appealing to feel like all you have to do is go to an appointment and they change your body for you. Unfortunately, for any of these things to work, you have to do it for an excessive amount of time which costs a lot of money. Not to mention the horrible side effects that some have had.

Any changes you are looking to make to your body are healthier by going to the gym or eating a balanced diet. I will say one thing that is different, what is balanced for one person, is not the same for the other - don't follow diets just because someone else had success. Find a nutritionist who will work with you - the one I have never once mentioned I needed to eat salad - I hate salad, I've tried to like it all my life, and it's a waste of time and money to try and eat it. She built an eating menu specific to my habits and likes/dislikes. I lost weight and found I had the energy to do more active things, like going for walks/hiking.

Good luck OP, I hope you find something that works for you!

I thought about it for a hot second, but didn't do it because you need multiple treatments to start seeing a difference. I think with how far away your wedding is, the gym would be a better bet.

Thanks guys. I was thinking of it as a “break glass in case of emergency” type of thing, should I not lose my small love handles in time. I see that it may not only be cost but TIME prohibitive. I didn’t realize it took so many treatments. 😳

I did it. It works for sure. I got it on my stomach area. 30 minutes each area, two sessions three months apart. It definitely works but it is expensive, I was at my ideal weight and I couldn’t get rid of the belly bump. I will probably do one more in the middle since I just did the two sides (by my belly button)

I wish I could! But no way could I afford it. They started offering it in the city where I live and I’ve seen a really good results on someone’s upper arms.

It only works if you are within 10-15 pounds of your goal weight. I am in the second month of my post coolsculpting and have seen slight results, but had I realized my dress would be a strapless ball gown, I would have had it done on the back of my upper arms instead of my stomach. It takes a few months to see full results, and only a candidate if the fat is soft and squishy.

I did it. it works.... its not cheap..and the number of sessions you need depends on how much extra fat you have.. it cost roughly $600 per area per session, one session would get rid of about 20-30% fat cells in the area... so you might see good results if your 'extra' is not a whole lot and you already maintain a healthy lifestyle, not a good option for folks with lots of weight to lose. I did 1 session on my lower abs and sides and saw significant results --3 months later.

View Quoted Comment Its definitely not a quick fix it takes about 3 months to see full results and you have to keep a healthy lifestyle, its more of an "extra" help to get rid of stubborn fat

So, I tried something similar! It's called truSculpt 3D, the name is pretty fancy I know. Well, it helped me get rid of stubborn fat. I'm not talking about 10 pounds of fat or anything like that. But, it did wonders to help me tone my back, my lower belly pouch, and my arms. After all, I choose a backless dress for my wedding, I needed those areas to be perfect!

All good info to know
