Restylane and Juvederm have lidocaine, but Belotero and Radiesse do not. If you cannot find Restylane without lidocaine then consider other products.Good luck!
The majority of hyaluronic acid fillers are now packaged with lidocaine. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to lidocaine then your physician may order Restylane without lidocaine.

Thank you for your question. Restylane in the nose typically lasts 4-6 months. If you want a longer lasting result you can have Radiesse injected. However, Radiesse can be permanent when done correctly. It typically lasts 1.5 years in nose and some of the improvement can stay permanently. I...
Swelling and bruising are not uncommon after injections, particularly in the lips and around the mouth. Even without treatment, the bruise should fade completely within 2 weeks or so. Certain lasers can help bruises fade significantly faster - if the bruise is bothering you, it...
