Do dermal fillers hurt?

The most commonly asked question that I get asked as a Doctor when performing dermal filler treatments is 'does it hurt'. A recent audit of patients having treatment at the clinic shows that the average discomfort was rated as '2/10' on a pain scale (0 being no pain, 10 being extremely painful).

Recent advances have meant that the dermal filler comes mixed with lignocaine, a local anaesthetic, which greatly minimises discomfort.

At the clinic we use the cannula technique rather than needles to perform dermal filler treatment. Once under the skin the cannula is effectively painless
