Is acne scar treatment suitable for someone who is sensitive to pain?

I really can't stand pain, so I keep hesitating about getting acne scar treatment haha. When I see reviews saying it works well, I want to book an appointment right away, but if I see even a single line about it being painful, my mind wavers again.

Of course, the degree of pain felt varies from person to person, and I think there will be a significant difference depending on how it is received.

I'm wondering if anesthesia is often required when starting acne scar treatment. I can handle a slight stinging sensation, but I think I would find it difficult to endure prolonged burning or continuous pain.

Also, I am wondering if I can speak up immediately to adjust the intensity or procedure if I feel too uncomfortable during the actual treatment.

Rather than thinking I have to endure it unconditionally for the sake of results, I want to receive acne scar treatment while adjusting it to my skin and what I can tolerate.

I would like to know if the pain is often only present during the procedure and subsides quickly, or if the burning or tingling sensation persists for a few hours even after returning home.

I am wondering if the perceived pain is actually less from the second time onwards because the tension is reduced since you know what it feels like after the first time.

I'm the type who feels pain more when I'm nervous, haha, so I think I'll really prepare myself mentally for the first day.

Are there any of you who have received acne scar treatment a few times and are as sensitive to pain as I am?

Please tell me honestly whether it was better than you expected after actually receiving it, or if you felt it was worth continuing because of the results, even though it was really painful.

I've been putting it off because of the pain, so I'm really curious about realistic reviews.

  • 통증에 약하다는 점을 상담 처음에 말씀드리면 마취 방법이나 진행 속도를 맞춰서 안내받기 쉬울 것 같아요. 중간에 불편하면 바로 말해도 되는지, 끝나고 열감이 얼마나 가는지도 미리 물어보시면 첫날 긴장이 조금 덜하실 것 같습니다.
  • 아픈 것이 걱정되는 마음은 누구나 같은 것 같습니다. 마취 과정이 있는지 저도 궁금해서 답변 기다려 보겠습니다.
