What to expect when having dermal filler treatment

Unlike Botox® injections, which are usually done without any form of anaesthetic, fillers can be slightly more uncomfortable, especially in certain areas like the lips. Your practitioner may therefore recommend you have an anaesthetic cream or dental block to alleviate any pain or discomfort. Some fillers, such as Juverdem Ultra®, actually contain lidocaine, a form of local anaesthetic.

How your treatment is performed will depend on the type of filler you are having and the area being injected. Thicker fillers, used for volume replacement, will be injected at a deeper level and may be more uncomfortable than fillers being injected into fine lines and wrinkles at a more superficial level. How fine the needle being used is will also depend on the product, however most fillers can be injected through very fine needles.

All filler treatments however involve a series of injections of the product into the area being injected. For some areas only a couple of injections will be needed whereas multiple injections may be needed in others. You may feel some stinging or burning during treatment.

The treatment will usually take around 30 minutes to an hour.
