I just has this done this week. The procedure was not painful. In some of my problem areas, the nurse went over the area three times turning the machine up a little each time. I woke up the next morning with my eye area being a little bit swollen and my face looked as if I had a mild sunburn. I put on my makeup as usual and I looked fine. You could not tell I had anything done to my face the prior day. As far as results, it has only been 3 days; way too soon to see results.
