I had a Coolsmooth Pro session which ended a bit early due to an error. Did it go long enough to work?

It was with the new applicator (which cuts the time to 75 minutes) on my upper abs. My session ended right after 60 minutes. The nurse doing the procedure said that "I was told as long as you get a full hour, it's fine". So I'm taking her word for it that I got the effect. Anyone have any opinions on this? thanks!
