Real Pain with Juvederm Injections Around Mouth. Can This Be Avoided?

Your PS can administer a dental block or apply a topical anesthetic about 45 min prior to your procedure-that will definitely take the edge off

Greetings~

Having Juvederm injected does not need to be as bad as a tattoo.  We apply topical anesthetic for patients prior to injections to minimize discomfort.  For the lip area, nerve blocks are an option as well (though most patients do fine without them).  And last, but certainly not least, good old fashioned ice works great as well.  You can also request that the provider injecting you use Juvederm (or one of the HA fillers) with lidocaine in it for extra anesthetic effect.

Good luck!
