The thought of injections can make people feel a bit nervous, so an obvious questions are; do dermal fillers hurt? Are fillers painful? Do Dermal Lip Fillers hurt?

The good news is, dermal filler injections are painless for most patients and there is lots to make it a comfortable experience.

If worried, ask questions before you decide.

Before a treatment I apply cream to numb the area a little as well as using the smallest needle.

Dermal Fillers have numbing liquid in them to numb the area.

It is hard to say exactly, but not many. Cheek fillers can be as little as 4 injections, lip fillers around 7.

A dermal filler appointment following a consultation can take around 20-30 minutes.

In the wrong hands dermal fillers can be risky and painful. It’s best to go to a trained Medical Professional such as a Doctor, Nurse or Dentist, preferably with many years experience.

As above, at Flawless Aesthetic Clinic, I try to minimise these, some common side effects are a risk of bruising and some slight swelling.
