Hi! I would to get some thoughts on taking a pain medicine right before a sculpsure treatment. I had my first treatment a week ago on my upper arms and it was extremely painful. I'd say it was a 7/8 pain level comparing it to when I didn't take the pain medicine after a csection. I also want to add I have a stretch marks on the upper arms. I go for my next treatment in 5 weeks and I'm very nervous. I didn't have any down time after my treatment. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Answer: Pain medication before SculpSure It is not recommended to take any pain medication before a SculpSure treatment. If pain medication were taken, it is possible that the sensation would be dulled and the skin could burn. During the treatment, the energy level can be adjusted and the treatment should be able to be done without pain. I would say there should be some mild discomfort, but it should not be painful. I would discuss this with the physician who treated you. It is possible the energy level for you could be decreased so that the treatment is not painful.

Answer: Pain medication for Sculpsure For any patient who are sensitive to treatment, I can prescribe a pain medication to be taken about fifteen minutes beforehand. SculpSure treatments take only 25 minutes and can treat up to 4 body areas in a single session. You may resume all of your normal daily activities immediately after your treatment since there is no surgery or recovery with SculpSure. Most people experience no pain with SculpSure. If you do feel any discomfort then adjustments are made to make the treatment comfortable.
