Comfort, Elevated: The Petal + Stem Approach
Med Spa in Woodbury, MN

At Petal + Stem, comfort isn’t an afterthought- it’s a core part of the experience. We’ve developed advanced, customized numbing protocols designed to significantly minimize discomfort across a wide range of aesthetic treatments. This is one of the many ways we deliver results without compromise.

Why Our Approach Is Different

Most practices rely on a one-size-fits-all topical numbing cream. At Petal + Stem, we take a more thoughtful approach.

Every patient’s pain tolerance, skin type, and treatment plan are different. That’s why we tailor our numbing protocols using a combination of techniques selected specifically for you. Our approach enhances comfort while maintaining safety, precision, and optimal outcomes.

Our Multi-Layered Comfort Strategy

Depending on your treatment at Petal + Stem, your personalized comfort plan may include:

• Medical-grade topical anesthetics of variable strengths customized to your treatment.

Carefully selected and properly timed for maximum effectiveness.

• Layered application techniques that are strategic methods that enhance depth and duration of numbing. Examples include dental blocks for lip filler and nerve blocks for scalp PRF.

• Vibration & distraction technology

Techniques that help interrupt pain signals during treatment.

• Targeted cooling methods

Advanced cooling to soothe the skin before, during, and after procedures.

• Precision injection techniques

For treatments like Botox®, dermal filler, and Sculptra®, we use refined methods that minimize discomfort and tissue trauma.

• Nerve-aware treatment planning

Our providers are trained in facial anatomy to avoid sensitive areas whenever possible.

Designed for Even the Most Sensitive Patients

Whether you’re new to aesthetic treatments or have avoided procedures due to fear of discomfort, Petal + Stem was designed with you in mind. Many of our patients are surprised by how comfortable their experience feels, even with treatments they previously thought would be painful, such as microneedling or laser treatments.

Safety Comes First

At Petal + Stem, our numbing protocols are developed and administered by trained medical professionals. We carefully screen each patient, review medical history, and adjust our approach to ensure both safety and effectiveness. Your comfort should never come at the expense of your health.

The Result: A Better Experience

Less discomfort means a more relaxed experience, smoother treatments, and greater confidence in your care. It also allows our providers to work with precision and focus—helping you achieve the best possible results.
