Microneedling - you will feel a scratchy sensation but it shouldn’t be painful.
Chemical peels - you may feel a tingling sensation but it shouldn’t be painful. I will give you a handheld fan to reduce the discomfort.
For both treatments, I will check in on how you are feeling throughout to make sure you are comfortable to continue.
