After last visit I noticed that I had a burn on my upper abdomen. Other areas seemed normal. Well the burn wound up being a 3rd degree burn. Still hasn’t healed completely. Still numb feeling in that area, deep grey discoloration, swollen and very cold. The other 7 areas I had done that day are still just as cold & swollen. The provider I saw does not seem concerned and has basically blown me off. I am wondering what I can do? It has been 2+ Months & im worried about permanent damage
Answer: Burn From Coolsculpting It would be incredibly unusual to have a burn as you described as a result of Coolsculpting. I would highly encourage you to seek out a professional examination to determine precisely what might be going on.

Answer: Burn Thank you for your question. It is absolutely not normal to have a burn following a CoolSculpting treatment. My advice is to follow-up with your technologist and be evaluated by a physician. Best of luck.

Answer: CoolSculpting No, it is not normal to have a 3rd degree burn after CoolSculpting. The skin should have been cleaned with the skin prep wipe (this helps to protect the skin) and then the protective pad should have been applied. The applicator is then applied over the pad and all this helps to protect your skin from frost bite. If you are having these issues months after your treatment you should return to the provider for treatment. If the provider is not helping you in this situation you should go to your primary care physician or seek out another CoolSculpting provider in the area. They may be able to provider some help with this situation. You may also want to report this to Allergan.

Answer: Thermal Events I am sorry that you are going through this and no, it is not normal. What is normal is a little redness, mild swelling and some hypersensitivity. This should last no more than 2 weeks and it would be unusual if any of these symptoms lasted longer than 6 weeks. The provider should report this as an adverse event if you are experiencing these symptoms and they are a direct result of the treatment. I hope you heal well from your burns.
