Is the lidocaine in Juvederm the same as the dentist uses?

I am unable to get an injection from the dentist due to reactions from the epinephrine so they give me an epinephrine free injection. I'm wondering if the lidocaine in Juvederm will also give me a reaction? Whenever I am at the dentist I get dizzy, feel tingly in my arms and hands, and get a slight panic attack if I have the epinephrine injection.
