Lidocaine with Juvederm

Amir M. Karam, MD answers: Is local anesthesia necessary for Juvederm injections?

How much is Juvederm and how long does it last? Does the needle feel like you're getting a regular injection? Is there any local anesthesia?

Everyone is different when it comes to pain.  I have some patients who prefer to get their injections without any anesthetic.  I also have patients who want to be totally pain free so we use various methods of local anesthesia.  Most commonly we do you some form of local anesthesia. The key is to be comfortable.  Go to an experienced injector with a good reputation and you should be  in good hands.
