What to expect with your ConnecTX® therapy:
ConnecTX® therapy is a safe procedure with minimal side effects when properly executed by a certified practitioner. Patient tolerance, treatment intensity, and frequency are taken into consideration to minimize the likelihood of adverse effects. However, as with almost any treatment plan, your doctor should discuss possible side effects with you.
Possible side effects:
Inflammatory processes can be stimulated during the treatment process, and symptoms can temporarily increase. Usually mild to moderate, these are easily controlled with cryotherapy (chilling the affected area) in either the practitioner?s office or at home. Other potential side effects include redness, bruising, petechiae, ecchymosis, welting and soreness.
