So it hasn't been as bad as I thought! Your tips on here helped. Figured I would pass on my experience and tips.

I don't bruise at all and I BARELY feel it when I go by my hip or side love handle area...but it needs to be low by my hip. I really barely feel it and no bruise or mark is left. If I do it in my stomach, or too far up, I will bruise.

I ice first...then put alcohol on it. I really barely feel the sting (when it's in the right spot).

Hope that helps someone!
