The swelling will peak 24-48hrs after the procedure. For the 1st 24hrs use an ice pack or something out the freezer to numb the area and reduce the swelling. After the 1st 24hrs switch to using heat, using a hot flannel or any other kind of hot compress, 20 mins on 20 mins off, making sure its not hot enough to burn.
