SLIMTONE®
“TLDR: wonderful experience at Boca SlimTone; wonderful staff (shout out to Kerry!), top of the line equipment, very fair prices for what you get, and what you get are awesome results.
The long version: OK, so I originally found Boca SlimTone via Groupon while looking for cryolipolysis (i.e., fat-freezing) for my abdomen and flanks. I reached out to them before buying the Groupon and they basically did a free consultation for me via text (e.g., they asked a bunch of questions and asked me to send specific pics of my abdomen). They determined that I’m a good candidate (healthy BMI, stable weight, and have pinchable fat on my abdomen) so I bought the Groupon.
First I did a couple sessions (maybe 4?) of ‘regular’ vacuum cryolipolysis (I think it’s called The Belly Blaster) spaced 3 weeks apart. During that time I already began to see results and thus bought a 3-pack of the Waist Blaster sessions to help with more fat loss but also with skin-tightening; so these sessions included some fat freezing using pads (not vacuum), red light therapy, RF, and EMS. I saw pretty instant skin tightening right away, but the final results take time.
It’s been just about 1 month since I finished all my sessions and I’m still seeing results. It takes several weeks (up to 3 months) for your body’s lymphatic system to eliminate all the fat cells that were killed during fat freezing. I can tell my waist is still slowly getting smaller as my pinchable fat continues to decrease. I can literally see my fat-folds turning into loose skin — which in this case is a good thing because it makes it clear the fat-freezing treatments really work. Also loose skin isn’t largely noticeable to only to me because I stare and poke at my abdomen almost daily.
I’m still continuing to see results and needed to take a break anyway to let my tissue heal and lymphatic system do its job. Even though it’s a 40 min drive for me to get to Boca SlimTone, I will very likely go back in a couple months, this time letting them work their magic solely on tightening my abdominal skin. Which mind you was already kinda loose due to age and significant weight loss as a child.
As a side note, none of the above was particularly painful, maybe a little uncomfortable, but mostly it’s just a weird-feeling sensation. Nonetheless, Kerry, who was my aesthetician, virtually held my hand (i.e., talked to me) during the weird-feeling parts. She’s a professional, down-to-earth sweetheart who literally made my sessions fun. Also, I had zero side-effects from anything I did there. I’ve heard that some people get mild inflammation or irritation after fat-freezing, but that was not the case for me. Just FYI, your results may vary.
In sum, Boca SlimTone is legit. If you don’t have the money for, or don’t want to deal with the side effects of e.g., CoolSculpting, or other highly-publicized (and astronomically expensive) brand-name treatments, go to Boca SlimTone. They’re honest, fairly priced, and deliver results. Lastly, I was not compensated for writing this review in any way. They asked me to write a review, and I am happy to do so because I had a great experience and genuinely have literally nothing bad to say.
PS - shhhhh… a little secret: if you’re a repeat customer who comes on time, etc. they will invite you to join a monthly membership plan for even more financial savings. If/when I go back, that’s the route I’ll go. Maybe I’ll even start working on my bat-wings or inner thighs…”
