I had a treatment of vanquish done on my hip area. The tech told me I may feel hot spots but that's part of the process. She checked on me once during the treatment and I told her I felt the hot areas and she said that means it's working. I wasnt provided a fan nor was I checked for any moisture accumulation. An hour after my treatment a large blister developed on my thigh. After it burst it left this scar. Is this normal for this type of procedure and what can I do to lessen or remove scar?
