Q: Does Restylane treatment need pain relief?

Answer:

Generally, pain relief is not necessary when injecting into the skin to correct lines and wrinkles. Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area for a more comfortable treatment experience.

The lips are a highly sensitive part of the body and, therefore, anaesthesia is usually recommended before lip enhancement. This is achieved most effectively by using a dental block or local anaesthetic.

Restylane and Restylane Perlane are now also available with the local anaesthetic lidocaine included for a more comfortable treatment experience.

Your Restylane practitioner will be able to advise on suitable anaesthesia for your treatment.
