The swelling on my face seems pretty intense!
Thanks for the great question, I get this one a a lot! By now your swelling should be pretty much gone. Most patients wake up the next morning after treatment and are shocked by how swollen they are! The swelling depends both on the density of the treatment and your body's natural response to the laser. The swelling is also worse after sleeping with your head at the same level as your heart. As you get up and walk around the day after treatment, most of the swelling should subside. Some doctors prescribe steroids to reduce the swelling, but in my opinion this is unnecessary. Best of luck and I hope you love your results!~Dr. Sieber
