I am thinking about getting for my marionette lines, but after reading a , I'm not sure. She described the Radiesse injections as being so painful that I am scared to try it. Why do injections hurt so much for some people, but not others? How can I avoid being one of the people who has "excruciating" pain?

Answer: Avoiding painful filler injections My advice is to have your physician use numbing cream which needs to be applied 1 hour before the procedure and rubbed into the skin. I also recommend mixing the Radiesse with a small amount of lipocaine with epinephrine (adrenaline) to decrease the pain and to prevent bruising. I also apply ice or cold compresses to the skin immediately before and after injections.

Answer: How to avoid radiesse pain I usually inject the area with minute amounts of local anesthetic with epinephrine that will numb the area and shrink the blood vessels so that it is less likely that the Radiesse could be injected in them. Some people mix the Radiesse with a local anesthetic bot this doesn't totally eliminate the pain.
