I generally have a pretty low tolerance for pain...however, I was wondering in addition to taking Neurontin prior to having the SculpSure procedure, would a topical lidocaine-like numbing cream (sometimes applied about an hour before getting a tattoo to help minimize pain from that) help reduce pain felt during the SculpSure treatment?

Answer: No numbing cream No to the numbing cream. During your procedure, the technician needs feedback from you in order to adjust the settings. Numbing cream will interfere with your ability to do this. The best thing to do before your procedure is stay really hydrated. This will help.

Answer: SculpSure SculpSure targets the fat cells. Numbing the surface will only interfere with the treatment. The heat you feel is deeper. During your SculpSure treatment you are being evaluated and it is very important to keep you in a certain "Zone". Each patient is different so we want the patient to discuss what they are experiencing throughout the treatment. Best to you, Dr Faraz
