I think it was nothing more than a very bright flash with a hot split second touch on your skin. I don't think it's a big deal at all. Dr. Nase suggested that using the anethesic is a bad idea because it's a vasoconstrictor and you'll lose alot of the effects of the photoderm. >> Well, maybe you wouldn't say it but that is how I feel. Before I had the anesthetic each pulse made me jump off the table about 3 feet! Of course everyone is different, , and maybe I am just more sensitive. My intent is not to scare people away from the Photoderm at all, but people should understand that there are is a possibility that the procedure could be quite uncomfortable. Also, the anesthetic that was used on me was not a vasoconstrictor. Obviously not because my face became beet red after the application. Maybe the anesthetic used on me was something new or at least different from the one that Dr. Nase was speaking of. Marji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 If you check the archives you will find dr. nase does recommend the anesthetic to cause a flush! Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
