Hello and thank you for your question. We always recommend a face-to-face consultation for advice however from what you have provided here yes absolutely! Ideally cream wants to be on for around 20-30min for a good numbing effect. I hope that helps, please always a seek a qualified and experienced practitioner for any cosmetic treatment, best wishes

Different preparations (cream versus gel) and their properties help determine how long your provider leaves the numbing treatment on before injection, Usually, the longer the better. Ice is also a great addition to help decrease pain and bruising.

I hope that this vide response that I've put together, answering this question is found to be helpful.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, in most cases if the numbing cream is left on longer it should have more of a numbing effect. Typically, getting lip filler should not feel painful. Some patients may find the sensation a little strange but not painful. Please speak to your provider if you have any concerns about your lip filler treatment.

Yes, numbing cream helps to make lip filler treatment more comfortable. The longer it is left on, the more the numbing will be in effect. If a Juvederm XC product is used there will be a numbing agent mixed in with the filler as well.
