CoolSculpting FAQ: Bruising or other Side Effects
Q: Will I get bruising or redness from Body Contouring with CoolSculpting treatment?
A: In all cases there is a temporary redness in the area over the skin where the cooling plates and suction device are placed for the hour per treatment.
Sometimes, there is some bruising in the treated area due to the vacuum pressure and its effect on superficial blood vessels- capillaries in the skin. This all resolves within 24 hours or up to 2-3weeks. If there is burning pain on the skin and it is not tolerable, prescription treatment is available. Most patients need no medications.
