What should I expect the day of treatment?

On your treatment day, you will have “before” photos taken. You will have the chance to review and sign a consent form after your questions have been answered.  Dr. White will assess you again and mark the treatment area(s). A gel pad is applied to the skin, and then the applicator. There is a pulling, tugging sensation as the tissue is drawn up into the cooling hand piece. At the beginning of each treatment cycle, you may feel cold, stinging, prickly sensations in the area being treated. This subsides within a few minutes. At the end of the cycle, the applicator is removed and the area is gently massaged. At Hampshire Dermatology, we make every effort to ensure your comfort during treatment. Many patients read, watch a movie, work or nap during treatment.
