Ideally there should be minimal swelling or bruising after treatment. Normal swelling is worse for the first 48 hours- it should be significantly better after 48 hours. If swelling is worsening beyond 48 hours, contact the office. If the jaw area is treated it is not unusual to have tenderness/pain in the jaw area for 5-7 days, but it should improve day by day. Bruising should be minimal since we use the Accuvein light during treatment and apply pressure as needed. Bruising can still happen but should be non-painful. If you have bruising or discoloration that is painful and it is not improving within the 24 hours after treatment, contact the office.
