Is the Volneumer procedure generally painful? I am wondering if it was okay with just anesthetic cream.

I would like to try the Volneumer procedure, but I am most worried about the pain. When I look at reviews, some say it was more bearable than expected, while others say it was quite painful depending on the area of ​​the face, so I am curious about actual experiences.

It seems that the procedure is often performed with only anesthetic cream applied beforehand, so I would like to know if that was sufficient. I am curious whether general anesthesia or additional anesthesia was necessary, and whether it is a procedure suitable for those who are sensitive to pain.

I would also like to know if there are differences in pain depending on the area of ​​the face. I am curious to know which area—such as the jawline, cheeks, deep cheeks, or around the nasolabial folds—was the most painful, whether it felt like a stinging sensation or just heat, and whether it was possible to take breaks during the procedure.
