Don’t worry; the wipe is an antibacterial wipe used to clean the area that is going to be CoolSculpted. The CoolSculpting machine itself protects against frostbite with built-in skin sensors. The temperature never goes low enough to harm or freeze the skin. Consulting with a board-certified de...

This is very rare, but can happen after treatment with the newer CoolAdvantage applicators. It actually happened to me when I did the treatment on myself! But, don't worry mine went away after about a month. It may take longer, but yours will most likely go away too. Using brightening creams and...
