Is an endermologie beneficial after TT?

Cute tumFeb 27, 2013
I had a TT 15 weeks ago and am doing endermologie for a variety of reasons. Today she bumped it a notch on my abs. It was felt a bit painful with a lot of pulling. A few hours later it is still red and feels looser to the touch, with tingling. I can't decide if its good or bad. Will it destroy the connections made, making it looser, or will it get more blood flow, thus enhancing the healing process?
