No pain = extra gain when it comes to cosmetic rejuvenation

Since I’m on the topic of plastic surgery, I thought I’d touch on an important point.
Most people are fully aware that if they get surgery and they feel post-surgical pain or discomfort they should run (not walk) to their doctor’s office. Well, this also applies to non-cosmetic rejuvenation.
Since when you undergo non-cosmetic rejuvenation treatments, you are usually awake, you know fairly quickly if something is burning and feeling particularly painful.
You really don’t have (and should not) wait until you leave your cosmetic doctor’s office to raise the issue.
Since I’ve had a terrible experience with laser, I know more than anyone else of the importance of letting your voice be heard if things just don’t feel right. So if you are undergoing any laser treatments or facial peels and you experience a burning sensation that is painful, tell your cosmetic nurse or your cosmetic doctor immediately.
The heat emitted to perform laser hair removal produces is normal and you will feel a warming sensation, but the heat should not be unbearable, nor should it linger beyond a few seconds. If you still feel heat around the area that was treated after the procedure, you really need to report the situation so your cosmetic professionals can do what’s necessary to ease your discomfort.
The same goes for facial peels. You should report any feelings of discomfort or burning sensations. You will experience some redness after a facial peel, but there is “normal” redness and “abnormal” redness.
You are undergoing these treatments to look better. The last thing you want is to end up with wounds and bruises on your face.
Even though there are no cuts in non-cosmetic surgery, you still want to play it safe because you can end up with scars that you’ll have to undergo more treatments to remove.
