Numbing and sensations
Does lip filler hurt?
Pain and discomfort are individual. Calm pacing, communication and appropriate numbing can make the appointment easier.
What can injections feel like?
A short pinch, pressure or stinging sensation is possible, and sensitivity differs between areas.
How does numbing help?
Numbing cream can reduce surface sensation, and some fillers contain lidocaine. Numbing cannot make every sensation disappear.
Speak during treatment
Tell Katerina how you feel. The pace can be adjusted and a pause can be taken.
Which pain is not routine?
Unusual, strong or increasing pain after treatment requires immediate contact, especially with vision or skin-colour changes.
