Note that some Cool Sculpting practitioners claim results are greatly enhanced (as much as 60%) by massage (which some offer as an additional service) right after the treatments.
As for the DIY ice approach, I've tried that and have written about that prior. It does make a difference, but needs to be coupled with an overall approach to becoming thinner.
For those that are interested, I tried a number of ice pack solutions and this super cheap one from Target is nearly ideal: Igloo MaxCold Ice Substitute.
I would put it over a t-shirt first, till you get used to the cold, then directly on the body. Move the ice pack slightly every few minutes (to cover all areas, as there are spaces between the cubes AND to not freeze yourself)!
I've used as many as four of these (still under $10 for four) all at once to do stomach, both sides and even lower back.
I'd often follow with massage once I warmed up slightly.
Again, this is not something I've kept up with, but may revisit once again.
My love of cooking (and eating) is at war with my desire to be thinner.
