DERMAL FILLER WITHOUT THE PAIN
Dermal fillers are a popular treatment to minimize wrinkles and eliminate the signs of aging. Now the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new version of a popular filler premixed with lidocaine to take away the pain.
Chris Inglefield, from London Bridge Plastic Surgery, said: “Injectable fillers provide a safe, non-surgical option for women and men who want to smooth facial wrinkles and folds without surgery, such as a brow lift or lower face lift. Lidocaine is a common local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic drug used to relieve itching, burning and pain from skin inflammations, injected as a dental anesthetic or as a local anesthetic for minor surgery.”
