Does your doctor use numbing cream before you get a Botox/ Dysport or Juvederm/ Restylane injection? Is beauty really pain?
As a doctor who has done countless injections, I’m not a huge fan of creating pain in my patients. To lessen the pain with Botox, Juvederm, or other injections, I use numbing cream. I apply the numbing cream on the area that I’m about to inject, and let it sit there for about 5-10 minutes. After that, I wipe it off and give the injection. My patients typically feel less pain compared to no numbing medicine, because the numbing cream has had some time to sink underneath the skin.
The other special technique I use is simple- STRONGER numbing medicine. Average numbing medicine is about 4-5% numbing lotion. I have special, custom formulated lotion that is 30% concentrated lidocaine, about 6-7 times as strong as typical numbing medicine used by other doctors and medspas. This has the advantage of getting your skin number faster, as well as more numb.
So, the next time you get a shot, ask for the stiffer drink, er, stronger numbing medicine. You should curse a little less with your beauty treatment!
