Cutera's Pearl Fractional works too well for someone not to have the treatment because of pain anxiety. Patients are prepped with a topical numbing agent for at least 30-45 minutes prior to treatment. Other options are available to further your comfort level as long as you have a driver with you. A Valium or I.V. light sedation is offered during the treatment. If your pain tolerance is low, these are recommended. Although, some patients with a higher pain tolerance do just fine with the topical anesthetic alone.
