Why does CoolSculpting machine keep saying "thermal event" for the same area wanted to be treated?

Ladyla88
Hello, I've had a treatment of coolsculpting on my abdominal area. I did my left side and when I wanted to do the right side, the machine turned off saying it was a "thermal event". I have since gone back three more times to attempt to treat the right side but after 10 minutes or so it shuts off again saying "thermal event"! Any ideas why it keeps doing this on the right side of my abdomine? We can't figure it out. Basically my left side is treated and the right is not!
