1. Take deep breaths
When we experience anxiety or nervousness, the body tenses and our breathing speeds up and becomes superficial. Tension in the body can make the sting feel more.Take long, deep breaths (in through the nose, out through the mouth) before the sting to relax the body and mind.
2. Think positive
When irrational and negative thoughts arise, remind yourself that the pain will be over within a few seconds.
3. Distract yourself
Find something that helps you think about something other than what's going on. Listen to calm music, watch something on your phone or squeeze a stress ball.Sometimes it can help to hold a conversation with the person who is going to treat you or give you the syringe.
4. Use anestheticemla
There are patches to buy at the pharmacy to locally anesthetize your needle prick. This is what you put on at home before your treatment. These do not guarantee a completely painless needle prick but it can be reassuring for both body and mind to know that the pain is slightly lower.
5. Look away - simply
Why even look at what is happening? By simply looking away or closing your eyes, you can ignore the circumstances and pretend you are somewhere else.
6. Talk to us
Being told that the person caring for you is used to taking blood tests or giving syringes can be a relief. We have performed thousands of treatments and want to be a great support for you as a client.Communicate your fears early and the person treating you will know that they should spend extra time making sure you are comfortable and ready.
You can then also discuss exactly what you need to make the experience more pleasant for you.
We know what we're doing!
During our ten years of carrying out PRP Treatments we have refined our injection technology. We have put a lot of time into making the treatment as painless as possible. Many customers tell us that it hurts less to do PRP with us and this does not surprise us. That's something that sets us apart from many of our competitors. We use needles similar to those used in acupuncture - that is, the thinnest on the market. These needles are developed specifically for PRP treatments. Another big difference is how superficially we go in when injecting. During our treatments, we never go deeper than 3 mm into the scalp.
This is not primarily because it should feel smaller, but also because the effect of PRP will be at its best at that depth.
