Expect swelling, numbness, and bruising in the treated area for 2 to 3 days. Swelling is a sign the treatment is working. Most patients need 2 to 6 treatment sessions spaced about 1 month apart. Once your desired results are achieved, no further treatment is needed.
- Apply ice to the treated area to reduce swelling
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights
- Results become visible within 4 to 6 weeks as the body processes destroyed fat cells
- Return for follow-up sessions as recommended by your medical provider
