Prior to receiving the treatment, you will be given anaesthetic options depending on the depth of your treatment to numb the area and help with any discomfort. The doctor or practitioner will then determine your settings depending on your goals and treatment plan and apply to hand-piece over the area over a period of time. To help with any discomfort and redness post-treatment some cooling can be applied to the skin. It is normal to see some swelling, redness, itchiness, bruising or changes in the skin pigment which would normally subside within the week following your treatment.
