When to call
Serious problems are uncommon. As with any treatment that uses heat under the skin, there is a small risk of a burn, uneven contour, infection, or temporary numbness or weakness if a small nerve is irritated. These risks are kept low by careful assessment, correct settings and Annie's experience as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner. You are given a number to call if you notice increasing pain, redness, heat, discharge or any change that worries you after treatment.
The clinic number is 07359 836026. If you are worried, call or message rather than wait. If you cannot reach us and it is urgent, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
