Procedure Diary
Procedure: CoolSculpt
Why you chose this procedure? I chose the CoolSculpt procedure because I had some stubborn areas of fat which refused to budge through diet and exercise.What you did to get ready for procedure? I had a consultation with one of the skin therapists at the clinic and also met with Dr Murray who asked me some questions regarding my current health and past medical history to ensure I was an eligible candidate for the procedure.
What you felt during the procedure: Initially when the cup of the machine was being placed on my skin I felt a mild pressure followed by a cool sensation as the treatment began. After a few minutes I barely noticed the coolness of the machine on my skin and just relaxed and read a magazine.
What you felt/saw post procedure: Immediately after the procedure my skin felt cold and numb in the area that was treated. It was visibly red and slightly raised but was not in any way painful or uncomfortable. The redness and numb sensation subsided in the hours following the procedure.
Results: It has only been two months since my initial treatment and already I am beginning to notice a change. Previously my bulky waist used to keep me out of tight clothing whereas now I am starting to notice less ‘muffin top’ and hope to be able to buy my first pair of skinny jeans soon!
Recommendations: I got a lot of valuable information out of the initial consultation prior to my treatment. The therapist I met with discussed all aspects of the treatment thoroughly and helped me to understand the types of results I could hope to achieve.
