VelaShape

So I recently got dibs on a couple of free Velashape treatments with the help of a friend. She's really into cosmetic surgery and related stuff and she suggested it to me, so I figured, why not try it if it's free and FDA-approved. It's currently approved for "circumferential reduction of the thighs," which is exactly the area I need most help in. Their site says 85% of people had a reduction of half an inch or more (not much, but better than zero, right?). I looked it up on some medical databases and the average reduction in circumference was around 6-7% after 1 session. My thighs are 25", so it'd mean losing about 1.5", which would basically equal to losing a clothing size. The real question is - has anyone here tried it? The studies I read mentioned redness and temporary bruising and there was mentioning of "adjusting energy level to a level tolerable to the patient," which suggests this could be rather uncomfortable or painful. If no one here has had it, I guess I'll be the VST guinea pig for it...lol.
