The areas to be treated are given a local anaesthetic and there is no pain at all during the treatment as a rule. You may feel a light pressure. The treated area may subsequently be sensitive to pressure for around three days and may be tender to the touch. Commercial painkillers such as ibuprofen are very effective here. In some cases, bruising may occur which will fade spontaneously. In general, our patients report only minimal side-effects or after-effects.
