Accent XL side effects

I had my first Accent XL treatment 4 days ago for tightening on my face. When I first wake up I have puffiness under my eyes and increased fullness on the bottom half of my face. This look slowly decreases as the day goes on. Is this a normal reaction that I can expect to subside with time? Is there anything I should be doing to lessen this effect? Help ... this is exactly the look I DON'T want!

I am not familiar with this type of response, I can only assume it is an inflammatory response that will subside eventually.  Once the body's healing mechanism of collagen production is at a stable or completed rate, I imagine the rest will normalize as well. I have not heard this concern before.... more
