Coolsculpting

Kauto0709

I've been hearing ads by River Medical lately for their "coolsculpting" procedure... it sounds interesting and I'm thinking of having it done. I'm wondering if anybody has had this done, what were your experiences? Does it work??

I clicked on this thinking it might be something to do with ice sculptures. How sheltered am I?

What on earth is coolsculpting, OP?

"CoolSculpting is non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat from those stubborn areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, pregnancy pouches, love handles, muffin tops and back fat. CoolSculpting is FDA approved to reduce fat by up to 20% in these stubborn areas with NO surgery and NO downtime."

Ok, so it isn't surgery. But what *is* it?

No such thing.

Don't know if it'll help or not but thought I'd share

Hi

I too am very interested in this procedure, i am wondering if anyone has it done and what at kind result did the procedure achieve?

Also I wonder how many procedures would be needed to achieve a satisfactory result.

I would love to hear from anyone who had this treatment

Hi Molly,

I had my consultation for coolsculpting this week with River Medical and it went really well, they said it would definately be suitable for me and I'm looking at getting the treatment in a few weeks. The staff there are really nice and friendly so I'd recommend you go for a free consultation too and get all the information you need

Voluntarily giving yourself frostbite so that bits of your body die and fall off seems like the worst idea ever to me :eek:. Don't see the appeal, myself.

actually, it sounds like cryosurgery, which is a legitimate medical procedure. you can get it done for skin tags for example. so, no need to be alarmed, it's not the worst idea ever.

I'm not saying it necessarily is a bad thing, but it just sounds completely abhorrent to me :P.

Trouble is, skin tags fall off in the bath or whatever. With 'coolsculpting', the fat cells break down and are re-absorbed within your body. Now what does your body do with them? It's still extra calories that need to be processed or they'll presumably get stored as fat again...

leinsterfab your first and only post on here and it reads like an advertisement for a company offering the service? I think you'll agree it comes across as suspicious. So I deleted your post. Please feel free to chime in on the forum on any thread you like, but maybe less of the advertising sounding posts until we all know you better. Thanks.

Heh, bizarre... reminds me of this:

Does anyone know how much this typically costs?

Kauto0709

It depends on the area being treated. I was quoted €1400 for one treatment or €2000 for two and if you take that option you get 3 lipomassages included in the price.

You do realise that they are selling their services to you. They aren't medical advisors, they are sales people. If you want medical advise, go to your GP.

I done a general coolsculpting search on google and came across another clinic in Tallaght. One of their nurse's tried it out and done a detailedish enough blog on it. They didn't have prices up so I rang them and they said it's €800 for my ahem...love handles (I swear I'm fit).

Actually there can be when it comes to 'pregnancy pouches.' On occasion pregnancy, especially with twins or other multiples, a woman's stomach muscles can get so badly torn that they won't recover with diet and exercise. Of course whatever coolsculpting is won't fix it either, it can only be fixed with surgery.

Little late with the reply here...
But usually about 650-800 per area.
I've had the procedure and it was absolutely worth it.
But more just for that impossible inch to pinch that all the cardio or weights won't get.
