How soon can I expect pain relief after Qutenza treatment?

Some patients may experience immediate pain relief after the application, while others may notice gradual improvement over the following weeks. The full effect of Qutenza usually becomes apparent within a month.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with Qutenza treatment?

We Do Things the Right Way

Qutenza is a prescription medication that contains an active ingredient called capsaicin, derived from chili peppers. It is a powerful and clinically-proven treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, targeting the damaged nerves responsible for causing pain. The treatment involves applying a patch containing a high concentration of capsaicin to the affected area, which desensitizes the nerves and provides lasting relief from pain.
