I went for the
No Scalpel Technique a couple of years ago and have to say, it really was practically painless. Had it done on a Friday afternoon, relaxed all weekend, and back at work on Monday was no worse for the wear.
No slicing, no dicing not even jullien fries, just a couple of punctures and the job was done. Didn't even feel the "kick in the nutz" that others have told me about.
Might be worth checking it out for availability in your area.
