Are anti-wrinkle injections less painful than expected?

Method: 21 patients who had never had anti-wrinkle injections before were questioned on how painful they thought the procedure would be. Patients were asked to give the discomfort a score out of 10 before the treatment and again afterwards. Patients were treated in either crows feet, forehead or frown lines (glabella). Ice was used to numb the skin before injection and 31g needles were used for treatment

Results: The average pain score before treatment was 5.48 and the average after treatment was 3.90

Conclusion: The results show that, for patients having anti-wrinkle injections for the first time, injections are less painful than patients expected.

Marionette line treatment with dermal filler

Marionette lines are the lines from the corner of the mouth down to the jawline. They tend to appear in form the age of 40+

Dermal filler can be used to treat these lines. As Doctors we tend to use a slightly thicker dermal filler in this area as it can give long-lasting lifting effects

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
