Do injectable treatments hurt?
Everyone has a different pain threshold and some patients can find some treatments more comfortable than others. Topical anaesthetic “numbing cream” can be used prior to most injectable treatments and Dermal fillers used contain lidocaine which helps towards keeping you as comfortable as possible. Please let us know of any particular concerns you have at consultation so we can help to ease any worries and plan your treatments meticulously.
We aim to keep your treatments as comfortable as possible, as a Registered Nurse Hannah is experienced in helping patients during anxious times and during procedures.
