Does wearing the head wrap help the swelling go down after the first 15 hours?

my patients get venus legacy treatments right away and wear head garments for faster recovery.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I think the head wrap can help reduce the initial swelling from the ThermiTight procedure. Most of my patients will say that they continue to wear it at night for the first week because the compression feels better. 

Dear ttooley:Following surgery, ThermiRF or any injury to the face, neck and other parts of the body a normal healing cascade occurs which initially includes swelling. The more inflammation, the more swelling.Swelling too sets up a vicious cycle of more swelling for days to weeks. Compression, elevation, massage, cooling following by warmth are all helpful in reducing the cycle of inflammation and swelling.While each patient is unique and may need more or less care following the procedure, the value of these principles is useful to everyone.I hope this helps! All the best!

Thank you for your question. Swelling and numbness are normal post procedure
and will slowly dissipate over time. You can continue wearing your head wrap as
our patients have seen a difference but it does vary for each person.

Thank you for your question. Yes! Continue wearing the head wrap. Wearing it on and off for at least 7 days following your procedure will really help minimize and decrease your swelling. Endermologie treatments would also help with the swelling, as it drains out extra fluid through your lymphatic system. If your doctor doesn't have an endermologie machine, he may know someone who does. I find it to be very helpful. Good luck!
