Question:
Is an RF procedure painful?
Answer:
Prior to an RF procedure, the doctor will inject a local anaesthetic into your skin which will reduce any discomfort. Pulsed RF is painless and does not require anaesthetic. Some soft tissue discomfort may occur at the needle placement site following the procedure. Like other soft tissue wounds, the discomfort will subside in a few days.
