What type of local anesthetics are available for lip fillers so I don't feel anything (especially pain) at all during procedure?

Asked By:KellyRoseF in Detroit, MI

I've had juvederm twice injected into my lips. Both times the offices would only put a white-colored, surface-numbing cream on my lips. But I have seen videos of people having a gel added to the inside of their mouth and they feel NOTHING at all during the injection. Even though I have that surface cream - I still feel the needle poking and jabbing inside my lips and it hurts! Why don't the offices offer a more painless option? I know they're out there - what are they?
