Post-Treatment Care

The area may feel tender immediately after the procedure.

  • The treated area may be flushed, red and feel tingly.
  • Use ice packs to reduce any swelling, stiffness and bruising from the treatment.
  • Take pain medication after the treatment if there is any discomfort.
  • Engage in a half-hour of light exercise, such as walking, within 6 hours post-treatment to
    stimulate lymphatic drainage.

    to recover so that your liver can remove extruded fatty acids and toxins from your
    system.

    hydrated.
