It comes in a special device.
You get some β your arm is numbed, so with a needle, so it's all numbed.
and then they use a device to kind of insert it into your arm.
It's very quick, painless.
You can get it not painless.
It will hurt afterwards, but it doesn't hurt when it actually goes in.
And you can get it done in your regular GP clinic as long as your GP is trained to do it.
So it's relatively simple and easy.
You do end up with a little scar on your arm after you get it, well, afterwards.
So you need to get it in.
Obviously, there's an insertion hole where it went in.
And then again, where it comes out.
So a scar, I guess, similar to if you had like a spot cut off or a skin check or something like that.
Yeah, so it's relatively doable.
It just depends whether you want something there.
And then you can feel it under your arm.
Yep, yeah, sure.
