Restylane Injections: Questions on pain and anesthesia by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle:
Question: Do Restylane injections hurt? Can you get anesthesia or some type of sedation if you have a fear of needles? You can have restylane injections with some sedation but this is not a very common request. Oral sedation is a consideration. The question of whether it hurts is “yes” there are variable amounts of discomfort and this is dependent on the approach, the type of local / regional anesthesia, how it is done, whether the filler has local anesthesia contained within it, whether the doctor uses topical anesthesia as well. On our webpage that can be found under procedures > facial fillers > fillers learn more. We cover the different types of anesthesia for fillers choices that you can choose from.
