Can applying a heat compress a week after Miradry help the lumps heal?

May 30, 2016
Asked By:healingaid in San Francisco, CA

I had Miradry done a week ago. I have the lumps that seem to be common side effects of the procedure. I've been massaging them and have definitely noticed that it's helping break up the thick tissue. It would make sense to me that since the skin has now healed, applying a heat compress or soaking in warm water would help the body break down that tissue. Is that correct?
