Asked By:southernchic

I had my 2nd treatment done on the front of my thighs about 5 weeks ago & I still have several hard knots on both legs. They were significantly swollen after the treatment, Way more than the first time. I massaged them several times a day & still continue to massage them but they do not seem to be going away, is this normal? Is this scar tissue? Does this mean the machine was too high for me? The procedure was painful but the #s were where she said they should be for optimal results.
