CoolSculpting Carried Out by a Nurse Instead of a Doctor - Worried

Cece52
I am concerned now that a nurse did the procedure, I am over weight, but have lost many lbs, I was hoping this would help me along the way. I have pain like bee stings, nerves going nuts, and sore to the touch. The swelling is down as it has been a week. My brusing is some interesting colors for sure! When I went for my consult, the nurse who did it stated I was a canidate. Is this procedure only to be done by a doctor? thanks for a reply
