Severe bruising and swelling post Profound treatment, is this normal?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I had profound 6 weeks ago. My bruising and swelling were severe and took 2 weeks to heal. My festooning , which was to improve post procedure is now worse. I have dark circles under my eyes as well. I look worse then I did prior to the treatment. My doctor says that he has never had this result and there isn’t a fix except adding filler. This is quite honestly not an acceptable response. Does anyone have advise?
A.Sorry to hear about your experience. Bruising and swelling are normal after Profound RF, swelling usually takes about 5 to 7 days to come down,bruising usually resolves after 7 to 12 days.It is difficult to make recommendations without seeing photos or examining you. It is best to discuss your concerns with your treating physician or another facial aesthetic expert in your area. Dark circles and festoons are difficult problems to treat. Fillers may help while the expected improvement from your Profound RF treatment occurs over the 6 to 9 months following your procedure. Good luck and be well.
