I am thinking about getting for my marionette lines, but after reading a , I'm not sure. She described the Radiesse injections as being so painful that I am scared to try it. Why do injections hurt so much for some people, but not others? How can I avoid being one of the people who has "excruciating" pain?
Answer: Minimizing pain with facial fillers: Radiesse, Juvederm, Restylane; Raffy Karamanoukian Facial fillers are useful to correct areas of facial atrophy, including the lips, nasolabial folds, and face. Injection is usually performed using small gauge needles that are prepackaged with the sterile syringe.

Answer: Radiesse does not have to be painful There is no filler procedure which "has to be painful". There are many tools in the analgesia armamentarium which can minimize or eliminate pain from the technique. The first step is to apply topical numbing cream for about 15 minutes. The second step is to give small pinpoint injections of lidocaine in the spots where the Radiesse needle will enter the skin. The third step is to mix the Radiesse with a little bit of lidocaine. This approach has been very helpful to my patients and makes the procedure much more comfortable

Answer: Avoiding painful filler injections My advice is to have your physician use numbing cream which needs to be applied 1 hour before the procedure and rubbed into the skin. I also recommend mixing the Radiesse with a small amount of lipocaine with epinephrine (adrenaline) to decrease the pain and to prevent bruising. I also apply ice or cold compresses to the skin immediately before and after injections.

Answer: How to avoid radiesse pain I usually inject the area with minute amounts of local anesthetic with epinephrine that will numb the area and shrink the blood vessels so that it is less likely that the Radiesse could be injected in them. Some people mix the Radiesse with a local anesthetic bot this doesn't totally eliminate the pain.
