Swelling, bruising, and tenderness near the treatment sites are also common. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to help control and minimize the pain you may experience.
Once the effects of numbness and sedation wear off, you'll begin to feel some pain and discomfort. This is to be expected and is normal.
