I started my first of expected 4 treatments on June 22, 2017. I have a big trip Sept 21-25 (13 weeks from first treatment). I am now 8 days from my first treatment and my swelling was noticeable the first 2-3 days and back to about normal now. For best results on sept 21, is it better to have next treatment at 4 weeks and 3rd treatment at 8 weeks leaving me 5 weeks till my trip? Or 2nd treatment at 5-6 weeks leaving me a full 8 weeks of recovery before my trip. I would have 3rd on return.
