Therefore, you can start seeing results within one month as it is naturally eliminated from the body, and can see the full contour results within three months.

You can feel a cooling sensation to keep your skin comfortable when the treatment starts. Then you will feel the heat and tingling as the laser cycles on and off. However, everyone's pain tolerance is different, but the sensation isn't too uncomfortable in fact.
If you are can't stand the pain, your doctor may give you nitrous oxide (known as laughing gas) as it's a safe way to help reduce the perception of pain, but it doesn't linger as anesthesia would. The nitrous Ox can from the body in less than 10 minutes.
How should I choose a SculpSure provider?
