Hello, I am considering getting Profound RF on my face. Searching online, it seems that doctors recommend icing the treated areas afterwards. Because I am having some arthiritic hand problems, icing the face constantly isn't practical. I don't really want to wait until after my fingers ache resolve to do Profound, because not sure when that'd be. I'd like to know what will happen if I do the Profound but not ice it much or at all? What's the worst case scenario? Thank you
