Potenza is a minimally invasive procedure, and patients usually experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to help minimize any potential discomfort. Patients may feel a slight prickling or heat sensation during the procedure, but this is typically well-tolerated. After the treatment, some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. Patients can discuss any concerns they have about discomfort or potential side effects with Dr. Sayed.
