heard of CoolSculpting but has anyone tried Blue Fat Freezing system, an at home system ?

I've done 3 CoolScupting treatments.  The first was the best, 2nd & 3rd not so much. Cost a lot

I have been using Isavera Freezing Systems from the big A ever since. 

It was working great until I started gaining my weight back and not excising

I have the Isavera too. Mentioned it in the Beauty forum today. It does work for me. I've lost inches out of my fat storage and they haven't come back. I do eat responsibly and I exercise every day.

The science is the same for both CoolSculpting and Isavera. Just one is much more expensive than the other.

@jlkz  Maintaing the right cold temperature for a full hour against the skin, without getting frostbitten, requires really specially designed equipment. All the other amazon fat freezing systems I saw seemed to get warm too quickly and did not hold the right temp that was indicated in the studies. Isavera is expensive-ish but it is made with a real attention to detail and quality. So if you're going to do it, I would have a pro do it, or get the good Isavera amazon system. But obviously you should do what is right for you regardless of what I think about it.

@PorcelainIsavera doesn't have the suction that CoolSculpting does, so I would also do Cupping after Isavera (& crepe erase)   I bought Isavera arms, belly and thigh  systems.  I'm very happy with the system and the customer service.

@Bird mama    That, too!   I live in Phoenix....and the winter nights are COLD.    Right now, I feel like my feet are frozen to the floor (and I'm wearing  fur-lined Bearpaws (and have the HEAT on)!!!!!

@Porcelain 

Do you think you'd have the same results without exercising?  And, do you think you'd have the same results by exercising, eating a reasonable diet without the Isavera treatments?  

Why does the name Isavera remind me of one of the Star Wars characters?  I can't recall the name, but it would speak in a strange sing song manner, such as " Isavera cold day!" LOL!

@Desertdi   I'm in Michigan, we get really cold this time of year.  In early November 2018 I fell at the roller skating rink.  Here's the corker, I didn't fall down hard or crash into anything.  It looked like I was slowly taking a knee.  Suffice it to say, that ended my experiment with rollerskating because I jacked my knee up.  I had to put ice packs on it when I got home (well, after I stopped the bleeding ).  I was on the sofa dying because I was so cold.  I didn't know what was worse, the knee pain or the cold from the ice pack.

I worked with a guy who decided to go to a Cryo Spa.  Here's the description from the website:

"Whole body cryotherapy is the exposure of your skin to temperatures of -238º to -274º  Fahrenheit for a short time (3 minutes or less). At this extreme temperature, your heart pumps more blood into your body, which activates several mechanisms that have significant long-term medical and cosmetic benefits".

You take off most of your clothes; I think he kept his socks and underwear on and stepped into a chamber and let himself being exposed to the temps described above for like 3 minutes.  As he was telling me about it, my jaw dropped.  He said would you ever try it?

I said, naw, it would give me cardiac arrest
