CoolSculpting: back is very swollen w/bruises, but my arms don't have any bruising, are only numb to touch. Did it work?

My bra fat area is very swollen and bruised up, one side more than the other, and on my arms theres barley any bruising and swelling, but they are numb to touch, but no where near the pain in my back. Did the procedure work? Also how long for the swelling to go down? When would I see results, and if theres no bruising did it even work. Im really afraid of cool sculpt not working on my arms, and that was the real reason because my back fat is not too bad.
