Do dermal fillers hurt?

Book Consultation Pricing By Treatment

Most patients find dermal filler treatments very tolerable. Many hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent that helps minimize discomfort during the injections. You may feel a brief pinch or pressure as the filler is placed, but the sensation is typically quick and fades almost immediately.

Do you use numbing cream?

Yes. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment if you prefer, particularly for more sensitive areas such as the lips.

What does the injection feel like?

Patients often describe the sensation as light pressure or a quick pinch rather than pain. The lidocaine within the filler begins working quickly to enhance comfort throughout the treatment.

Is there discomfort after treatment?

Some mild tenderness, tightness, or sensitivity can occur for a day or two after treatment, but these effects are usually minimal and resolve on their own.
