The first thing I would say is that there is likely no permanent damage from the situation that you describe. My second piece of advice would be to seek a new appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in and is highly experienced in cosmetic procedures. It astonishes me that women will often seek out the lowest prices for Botox and other injectables with little care or thought of who is administering those products. Seek out an experienced professional and I believe you will be fine. Adrienne Stewart MD FAAD

I do not use CoolTech in my practice. I use CoolSculpting in combination with other fat removal modalities i.e. radiofrequency and ultrasound. From the little I know about CoolTech, it is a similar process in that it freezes the fat to kill a certain percentage of fat cells. I believe this technology involves a 1 hour process whereas the new CoolSculptig process is only 35 minutes. I hope this helps. Adrienne Stewart MD FAAD

It is difficult to say why your dermatologist might have recommended this protocol although it is not unusual to do a light peel a month or so prior to laser treatment. It really depends on the type of peel and the type of laser procedure. If your dermatologist is a board-certified dermatologist who  is experienced in cosmetic dermatology as opposed to medical dermatology the advice will be well-founded. You of course could go to another cosmetic dermatologist for second opinion prior to treatment. Adrienne Stewart MD FAAD
