Do Frown Line Volumising Treatments Hurt?
Frown line treatments at Contour Clinics typically involve minimal discomfort, though experiences can vary between individuals. To assist with comfort during treatment, clinicians may use numbing creams or ice packs if appropriate. Patients often describe the sensation during treatment as mild pressure or slight pinching, usually brief in nature.
After treatment, some patients may experience mild tenderness, redness, or slight swelling at the treatment site, which generally resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare instructions and discuss any potential side effects or discomfort to help manage your individual experience.
