  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Prolonged Swelling Post-Excel-V

I had Excel-V for diffuse redness 6 days ago. Nothing seemed out of the norm during the treatment and no scabs or bruises afterwards. Had some typical swelling in the first few days after treatment. But now I have these residual what looks like swelling / hive / welt to two areas - one on each cheek - different areas. It doesn't really feel raised / swollen, but it's definitely lighter in colour than the surrounding skin. It also doesn't have the shape of the circular laser "pulse" and has that kinda amorphous shape of swelling / a hive. It's been 6 days so wondering if anyone's ever experienced something similar and if it should go down eventually?
