Is it normal to get severe burning and red marks and blistering from cool sculpting? (photo)

Thank you for your question and photos! CoolSculpting can cause redness in the area that was treated but your picture appears to be an abnormal and rare reaction. CoolSculpting is one of the safest non-surgical and non-invasive medical procedures used to reduce stubborn fat pockets when done correctly by a certified specialist. It is very important to seek these treatments by a board certified physician or CoolSculpting specialist to make sure the procedure is done correctly. I highly suggest you meet with the specialist who treated you originally for a follow up to examine why you are having this reaction and for recommendations on using a compress or other remedies to reduce and eliminate this redness. You may also find comfort in seeking a second option for a certified physician or specialist to help with any further treatment.

Thank you for your question and photos. This is a very abnormal response to Coolsculpting. I would recommend returning to the office where you were treated to discuss post treatment care. Bruising, swelling and redness are common although this looks like the treatment may have not been performed with the proper protocol. 

This is not typical of a CoolSculpting treatment and I would consider it a complication. Hopefully you won't have any long term effects from this. This can occur if the gel pad is not in the proper position and the applicator comes in direct contact with the skin.
