A small scratch, rather than a sting is usually felt.
Local anaesthetic cream may be used to alleviate the sting felt during treatment if requested, but the large majority of people don’t feel this is required.
Immediately after treatment you will have slight pinkness that rapidly resolves and makeup can be applied immediately after. It is best to refrain from rubbing the area for several hours afterwards or performing vigorous exercise.
Immediately after the treatment you can go straight back to work and resume normal activities with the exception of that mentioned above.
How long does it last?
