Does anyone have experience with coolsculpting? I am considering having my upper arms done. I am fit and not looking to lose weight- just address some stubborn pockets of fat that I have always been insecure about. Thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone! Glad I posted this. It was hard to find firsthand experiences online. This thread basically confirms all the reasons I hesitated to do it in the first place.

So i did it on my lower abdomen. It left weeks of painful tingling and numbness in that area. When that finally went away, i had a flat section in my lower belly where the fat cells only got pushed higher. Not the best experience.

Yeah no

I’ve heard that Lypo is always the best option. It’s more invasive but it’s “doing it the right way”. I think there have been a lot of cool sculpting horror stories

Oh ghosh. These horror stories! I have had the opposite one. Not the cool one, but that didn't work. I know a pilates instructor who did it on her arms. But I don't know her personally to mention her experience here!

What about that laser lipo stuff? Accent XL body contouring?

My man had it done underneath his chin and was happy with the results My ex boss had it done in the same area too. However the specialist that he went to was really great and super honest and she did recommend Lipo for other parts of the body

I tried it once, zero results. I’m the definition of skinny fat. I just had to tone up the old fashion way.

Do normal lipo

I’ve done cool sculpting and didn’t see results so I went ahead with lipo and I’m glad I did. Should’ve just done lipo in the first place, I think cool sculpting is a scam. I’m a very active person and had the same dilemma of not being able to get my arms as slim as I wanted.

A woman at my company got cool sculpting (she needed it!) and said it was incredibly painful. She was out of the office for at least a week, maybe two if I remember correctly.

There are also other non-invasive options like trusculpt and emsculpt that (based on my online research) have better/more consistent results than coolsculpt, so that’s something to consider as well!

All of you here who had good experience with lipo, can anyone tell me which lipo procedure to be specific. Like the one in which they make a smallest incision and suck the fat out thru the pipe?

Following. Also , costs and recovery time?

Also curious about other peoples lips experience! I have pockets of underarm fat that I want removed

I wanted to do it but Linda Evangelista (and other ladies who came out against it) horrified me. There are definite risks with abnormal tissue growth.

I guess I am just not unhappy enough to try again. Has anyone been in the same boat?
