the procedure looks like it could work up to a certain point (40% loss) - and you are told this up front it also takes a few weeks. However, I am impressed as a week in to the process and the area has softened and feels different. There is little pain to the process - during the process you feel a pinch after, I guess it depends on the area but nothing unmanageable. Marta is a great service provider. She is professional and her explanation and presence make the process easy and clear. The vakue of the treatment is such that even if you do not believe it will work, it's not much of a risk. The place is very clean. I would recommend Marta and Cryolypolisis very highly!
