Nobody likes the idea of pain with procedures, but with most treatments that actually provide results, there will most often be some level of pain. So, does Fractora hurt? Yes, you'll experience some pain, but it's manageable pain made possible with topical anesthetics, and, if indicated, oral pain medication. Discuss your pain tolerance levels with your doctor before you make your appointment for treatment so you'll feel assured you'll be taken care of in a way that makes you most comfortable. Anxiety increases the perception of pain, so some patients opt for anti anxiety meds prior to procedures.
Thank you for your interest in Fractora! Fractora is not painless, but most patients find it quite tolerable after application of numbing cream. Correct application of an effective numbing cream is usually sufficient, but occasionally there are patients who have very low pain tolerance who require local nerve blocks for better pain control. I hope that answers your question.
