I had a new 35 min CoolSculpting treatment and the machine stopped twice during treatment. Will my results suffer?

I had a new 35 min coolsculpting treatment. The machine stopped 13 minutes into the treatment. They started the machine after 4 minutes or so but the site heated up. The timer started again at 35 min and stopped at 17 minutes or 17 minutes into the treatment. I believe the total treatment time was only 30 minutes with the warming of the skin in between. Will this be an issue with my results.
