In this incident, patient experienced a blister on the abdomen - flanks area following a laser procedure with the sculpsure.User error was involved in this incident since it was also determined that the treatment was performed over creases in the skin/uneven tissue upon the flanks.The clinical reference guide was not followed as it cautions: "do not treat over areas of deep, thick skin folds where the applicator may not cool the area adequately.Discomfort and adverse skin effects may result." the patient sought medical intervention at a burn center where the wound was debrided and received enzymatic medication cream.Blisters are expected side effects from laser treatments, however this event is reportable because the patient had medical intervention.
