I have a very good pain threshold and would rather not have lidocaine injected. Personally hate the feeling of an anaesthetic! I am aware that all Voluma products come included with lidocaine, so this then leaves me having to use another filler product. I have searched everywhere to be sure Radiesse is not included with lidocaine but cannot find any definite answer. Can i ask if most surgeon offices hold Radiesse without Lidocaine? Thanks for your help.

Answer: No lidocaine in my filler please! Dear julian86:Lidocaine is added to fillers to minimize discomfort. I sometimes add a small amount of epinephrine as well, to minimize bruising. Radiesse comes plain or premixed with lidocaine. In my office, we can provide either, according to your preference. BElotero is a hyaluronic acid that is sold without lidocaine, so is another option for you. Last.y, Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler that is sold a a lyophilized powder to which the doctor adds saline, and usually lidocaine, but certainly could be provided to you without the lidocaine.I do hope this was helpful for you!All the best, Dr. Clark

Answer: With & Without To answer your question, Radiesse is available with and without lidocaine. During your consultation, just be sure to speak with your injector about your preferences. Lidocaine helps numb the area for an improved patient injection experience. Good luck!
