I had my first Vanquish treatment today, and it was painful.

Asked By:amy_1965 in Everett, WA

I expected to be uncomfortable, but it felt like it was burning my sides. Is there anything I can do to avoid this pain? I will talk with the office where my procedure was performed, but I was scheduled to have 4 additional procedures and now I'm nervous. Can I take ibuprofen before the procedure? Why can't a numbing cream be used prior to the process? Thank you for your input.
