Asked By:Clm7268 in South Korea, KR

Is it normal to be this red after 24 hrs from zeltiq coolsculpting? This is on my love handle and upper abdomen. I did it on my lower abdomen but there's no redness or bruises there. The machine used was a legit zeltiq machine, and the gel pad was applied beforehand. It doesn't hurt or sting, only when I press it. Are these just gigantic hicky marks? Or would they be burns or something bad?
