Hi Marc, glad things went so well.
We open a capsule of vitamin E and apply a little right after the procedure and give the patient a couple more to take home and do the same thing with.
We just tell them to stay away from spicey foods and take whatever they prefer in the way of OTC antiinflammatories. If I have any concerns [or if I want pics 😉 ] we’ll see them in a week.

Hi Marc…..congrats on this procedure, settings you used without anesthetic are good. I like to use 30Hz for soft tissue as the cut is faster and smoother and you may get less bleeding than 10 Hz. To do work without anesthetic in non contact you need to use 30Hz and 30mj.

In addition I am now using mainly the chisel tip in non contact, it works great for ablating the tissue without bleeding and I can use slightly higher settings for the bigger footprint of this tip.

Post op instructions…..

1. Advil p.r.n. as needed, most patients dont need much.
2. Dont worry about the white scab that forms as this is predictable healing as the lesion fills in by secondary intention, it will disappear in 6-10 days.
3. No spicy foods for the first 2-3 days as this will hurt the area.
4. Chlorhexidine on a cotton swab 2x per day is ok in our office to prevent any risk of 2ndary infection.
5. Sometimes patients feel some pain on day three as many of the nerve fibers are regenerating at that point and most of the patients havent felt much til then.
6. For the kids the best part is lots of cold foods and drinks on day 1 to keep the swelling down, ice cream , slurpies and freezies!!!!

Hope that helps. Let me know if you want more photos but here is one case.

Yes Marc….it is filling up fast so if people are interested make sure you get involved now to avoid not being registered.

Should be fun and thanks for the kind words
