@mramseydamien,
You will feel like you were burned, because that is exactly what the treatment is. Swelling, bruising, and redness are common. The treated area is an open wound and should heal within seven to eight days. This portion of the healing process will involve 'hands on' care of the treated areas by you, in addition to several visits to the treatment provider's office. At the end of about one week, the treated area will have the appearance of a very red and peeling sunburn. Your appearance will gradually improve over the course of five to eight weeks.
