Hi Megan
yes, numbing cream prior to the procedure. Nerve blocks - about 30 needles plus oral nurofen and panadeine forte...so a fair bit of pain relief but still it is v.painful but only whilst the laser is operating. As soon as the pass has been done, the pain goes.
hope you find this useful.
I also had valtrex to avoid herpes breakout as well as prednisolone to reduce inflammation.
