Your face may be red and swollen for a few days after your secret RF treatment. Be sure to moisturize it gently and stay away from heat. It will also help to ice it until the swelling goes down. If you are still concerned about the swelling and redness after one week, call your doctor and let them know what is going on.

If you have any side effect, please contact your specialist, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.

I'm sorry that you were disappointed with your energy-based device treatment. However, I am not at all surprised. I have been cautioning my regular followers for years that the hard science to support the use of expensive fraxel laser and RF devices lags well behind the heavy marketing hype and...
