Bumps or uneven abdomen after first treatment. (photo)

marisellgg
Hi,I had my treatment on 3-13-15.  The applicator was small.  I had one application in the upper abdomen and another one in the lower abdomen.It's been pretty much a month and a half and I can see the reduction on my belly but at the same time visible bumps there as well.  Please notice the way my belly looks around the belly button. I will provide a better picture but so far I have the attached ones.Is this normal? Do I need to wait at least three months?  Is it safe to go for a second treatment after the 3rd month and expect it to be corrected?  Finally, who is the right person to perform the treatment, ie:  licensed professional, nurse, doctor, etc?Thanks!!mg
