CoolSculpting session cut 6 minutes short - will the results be greatly affected?

Question

I recently had my third coolsculpting session done on my flanks. About 29 min into the session, the machine turned off the left applicator due to an unusual temperature detected on my skin. The tech said that it should be okay since I completed MOST of the treatment. The right side was treated for the full 35 min. Will results on the left side be greatly affected?

Hello and thank you for your question. No, your CoolSculpting will not be affected with treating for 29 minutes.

In my opinion, having a CoolSculpting treatment shut off with 6 minutes left in the cycle should not affect the ultimate results.  As you may know, it can take 12 weeks to see the full effect from the treatment.

Hi, thanks for your question. It's unlikely that your results will be affected by six minutes less in a side. For sure, Coolsculpting will work the same on both sides. Good luck!
