The Athenix Experience

Day of Procedure

A better, safer treatment experience

On the day of your procedure, you’re going to be both excited and nervous. Our staff is here to support you, answer any questions, and ensure your safety. This is what you can expect.

When you arrive you will complete any final paperwork and we will take photographs so you can compare your before and after. You will meet with your doctor for a final evaluation. He or she will mark the treatment areas and review your treatment plan and answer any questions.

During your procedure, our physicians and staff work hard to ensure your comfort. Most of our patients report feeling very little if any pain during the treatment. And because you are not under general anesthesia, you are able to discuss your feelings with your physician during the procedure.

After your procedure, we do require that someone drive you home. Your chosen caretaker will be informed of your progress, so they are prepared to take you home safely. Your actual procedure time will vary depending on your treatment and the number and size of areas being treated. After your consultation, we will be able to provide a more accurate time frame.

• Meet with your doctor first thing
• Awake during procedure with little or no discomfort
• Ensure that someone
  is available to drive you home
