I am a spa owner. I have had this treatment done twice without a topical anesthetic. No doubt if your pain threshold is low you would need a topical anesthetic.
We have done over 50 Matrix treatments on women that can afford to have anything done from injectables to plastic surgery and they love the results of the Matrix.
My biggest problem with any laser/ipl/rf treatment is the person using the equipment. Many times, the person doing the treatment hasn't had enough skin experience to know what they are doing.
So as a consumer, the first question I would ask is when getting ANY laser/ipl/matrix treatment is how much experience does the operator have? We frequently see treatments gone bad because the person delivering the treatment does not have sufficient experience.
