Since we administer a numbing agent before the procedure, you will not feel pain during treatment. Following your appointment, it is common to experience redness or swelling on the treatment site, tingling or sensitive skin, and scabbing as the skin heals. Patients also sometimes experience itching as the new skin grows in and the scabs begin to form. Dr. Cohn will advise on the best topical pain alleviation to soothe your skin during recovery.
