Yes: And it is not bad at all. In fact, it will surprise you how comfortable it is. Do not be afraid. In good hands it is a very successful and comfortable procedure.

Yes, not too scary!: I realize that the idea of having a bunch of needles stuck in you sounds pretty scary, but the needles are really thin and barely enter the skin, so any discomfort is minimal and after the initial tiny prick you don't feel it. Many people get a feeling of deep relaxation, even bliss during treatments. It would not be so popular if it was torture! And yes, millions of kids have had it done...
