Do you get numbed before? & I'm afraid of needles, how bad is the pain? Also, am I a good candidate?
Answer: Numbing Before Fillers -- Get Cannula Injection I dont use any numbing on my patients because I use cannulas which limit pain on injections. I suggest you go to someone gentle who does cannulas for fillers. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Numbing prior to juvederm I completely numb the area prior to injection. This is a technique that not all doctors do or even is trained to do. You are a candidate but the artistic nature of the doctor is more important. I do very natural results. Thanks for question

Answer: Making Filler Injections As Comfortable As Possible The fillers I use all have numbing medication in it, so it makes for a more comfortable injection experience. We also use ice applied to the area which numbs the area and also shrinks the blood vessels to help decrease the risk of bruising. It those who are extremely sensitive to needles we also apply topical numbing cream. This has worked well for us. Make sure you find an experienced injector who will make your first filler experience a pleasant one. Best of luck.

Answer: Topical Numbing and Icing for Juvederm/Restylane Hi Melissa. Most patients have some anxiety the first time they are injected but the reality is that the anxiety is worse than the actual procedure the vast majority of the time.We use a high strength triple numbing agent applied to the skin before treatment and gentle icing during and after treatment.
