As any laser resurfacing procedure, patients experience some discomfort during the treatment. The pain level depends on the depth and the amount of energy used, as well as individual pain tolerance. To help patients relax during the procedure it is recommended to prescribe some pain medication, such as Valium or Vicodine to take one hour prior to treatment. Topical anesthetic cream, such as Lidocaine is also applied for one hour before the procedure.
