I had the treatment done yesterday (Thurs) after work. My doctor numbed the area with a lydocaine cream (rx strength) which took about 10 minutes to kick in. When she started the injections, I didn't feel pain on my skin but I could start to feel a mild burn from the acid now in my skin. I received 2 vials ($600 per vial) and it took about 10 minutes. Then I was given an ice pack and drove home. Yes there is a lot of swelling and I used ice last night to calm the burning sensation. Not bad at all. I am taking Tylenol since it doesn't thin blood like other pain relievers. Also started taking Arnica orally a week ago and I applied Arnica gel to the treated area. I bruise very easily yet I only have a couple small purple marks on my chin. Drinking tons of water and high fiber foods and smoothies to get that fat moving on out! I'll post some photos.

I brush easily as well. Try fresh pineapple and lots of it also lavender or tea tree oil.
Please keep us posted as I am looking at having the same procedure done in the very near future ☺

I told my friends I went away for the weekend. I grocery shopped the day before and just relaxed for a few days.
