Questions & answers
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the procedure as a brief injection experience. We numb the area first, and the preparation and injection together typically fit into a single outpatient visit. Expect some soreness and swelling over the following days, which is a normal part of the healing response.
What the procedure feels like
We numb the area before the injection, and the preparation and injection together typically fit into a single outpatient visit. Most patients describe it as a brief injection experience rather than a painful one, and the clinical team walks you through each step as it happens.
Soreness afterward is normal, not a setback
Expect some soreness and swelling over the following days, which is a normal part of the healing response. You leave with clear written aftercare instructions, a follow-up plan, and a number to call with concerns, so you are never guessing about what is normal and when to check in.
How the clinic keeps the visit comfortable
- Numbing of the area before the injection, so the needle is as comfortable as possible
- A guided injection into the target area, so the treatment lands precisely where it is needed
- A single outpatient visit for preparation and treatment
- Written aftercare instructions and a real person to call with questions
