A topical anesthetic may be applied before treatment to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Photographs of the treatment area may be taken for your medical chart and future comparison. Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve complete satisfaction. Short-term redness along with mild swelling can be expected.
