I had CoolSculpting today and my session stopped due to thermal event. Do you think I got a full effective treatment?

Hello and thank you for your question.  If it was really just the last few minutes, I would say you still received an effective treatment.  Different areas respond differently to coolsculpting, so just because one area isn't as tender as another does not mean that your treatment wasn't effective. You should expect to see results in 6-8 weeks. Hope this helps!! Holly, RN

If you only lost the last few minutes of the cycle it still is considered a full treatment. As long as the massage was still performed immediately afterward you should expect good results! The soreness of the treatment area does not correlate to the effectiveness. At West Michigan Plastic Surgery we perform many upper and lower abdominal CoolSculpting treatments and patients often report greater discomfort in the upper abdomen. Final results are typically seen two to three months after treatment so you will have to wait to evaluate then.
