Usually, the procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia so that you won’t experience pain during the intervention. During the post-surgical process, the incisions are minimal; therefore, your natural healing process will be shorter and the pain minimal.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Because it is minimally invasive, recovery is generally quick and well tolerated.
The results vary from patient to patient. Some individuals experience relief for weeks or months, while others may require additional treatments depending on their condition and symptoms.
