dapinklady21
I did coolsculpting 2 months ago on my thigh, unfortunately during the treatment the machine was showing an error msg of thermal event. i didnt know what was that mean &no nurse was around, my thigh was under that temperature for hour and when ppl saw the error msg, they did 2nd treatment and same error occured, my thigh was under that cool sculpting temperature for almost 2 hours. And now i have a big dark pigmentation on my thigh. Is it gonna be healed???
