One of the most frequently-expressed concerns regarding any treatment with injection, such as Botox and dermal fillers, is the discomfort and pain associated with it. Many of us find injections to be an unpleasant experience, even if it is far less uncomfortable than other cosmetic treatments.

Fortunately, the popular dermal filler Juvederm® understands this. Usually, a topical anaesthetic is applied to the area before the procedure, and patients must wait for a few minutes to let it kick in. However, Juvéderm® features a local anaesthetic, lidocaine, to ease the discomfort associated with the injection, numbing the area injected during and after treatment. The enhanced product was approved by the FDA  this year on February 1, and from Health Canada earlier.

Juvéderm® is used to smooth out wrinkles and lines as well as reshape contours and boost volume in the lips.
