Do you get numbed before Juvederm? (photos)

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.

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.  To see Juvederm photos for other Los Angeles patients, click on the link below.
