Following treatment, the area can be quite red, warm, tender and swollen for the first few days as healing takes place. Occasionally there may be some altered sensation, numbness or tingling within the area, this sometimes takes a few days or weeks to settle.

Although the micro blade used is very narrow, occasionally the treatment may result in a tiny scar. Thickened scars, such as hypertrophic or keloid scars, may occur. If you have  a tendency for these, it is essential you inform your practitioner. Rarely the treatment may result in scabs, blisters or vesicles at the treatment site.

Pigmentation may occur due to the bruising within the skin, it is important to avoid exposure to UV light until healing is complete.

Due to the nature of separating the fibrous bands when performing cellulite treatment, bruising is inevitable and can be quite extensive. The area is likely to be quite tender for several days or more and the bruising can spread beyond the area treated and be black or dark purple in appearance.

There will be a degree of bleeding following the procedure and a dressing will be applied which should remain in place for 24 hours, although sometimes the bleeding may be a little bit more profuse and seep through the dressing. Pressure can be applied to stop any   bleeding and a further dressing may need to be applied. If the bleeding is persistent, please contact the clinic to arrange further review.

The procedure is highly effective although results cannot be guaranteed and sometimes cellulite will remain. Further treatment can be performed if needed. As cellulite is an ongoing problem, it can recur despite having effective treatment.
