Swelling and bruising 3 days after Venus Freeze. Is this normal?

May 10, 2014
Asked By:spn211

I had my first Venus Freeze treatment on Thursday. It was borderline painful and uncomfortable but not bearable (my board licensed dermatologist, who administered the VF, said I was one of the few people who had ever gone the whole time without stopping b/c it was too hot). So here is the thing, my abs (where I received the treatment) are pretty swollen and tender even almost 3 days later. I also have areas where there are kind of bruises -- almost mild burns (redish). Is this at all normal?
