The treatment is generally well-tolerated by most patients. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treated area to ensure comfort during the insertion of the threads. Some patients may feel mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is usually brief. After the treatment, you may experience slight soreness or tightness in the area, but this is temporary and should subside within a few days.

If you’re particularly sensitive or nervous about pain, talk to your specialist, and they can guide you through pain management options.
