Lip filler treatments should be as comfortable as possible. To help with this, we offer compounded pharmaceutical-strength topical numbing and injectable dental blocks to make your experience pain-free.
While many popular lip fillers like Juvederm, Volbella, Kysse, and Revanesse® Lips™+ already contain lidocaine (a numbing agent), some patients prefer the more complete numbness a dental block provides for their lip injection.
What is a dental block for lip fillers?
A dental block is an injection of an anesthetic, usually lidocaine, near the nerves that supply feeling to your lips. Lidocaine is perfect for dermal filler procedures because it starts working in just 3-5 minutes and lasts for 1-2 hours, keeping you comfortable throughout the entire treatment. To completely numb the lips, the anesthetic targets both the infraorbital and mental nerves. Since the lips are one of the most sensitive areas for injections, a dental block is a popular choice for pain management during lip augmentation.
Are there risks associated with dental blocks?
As with any injection, there are minor risks, including temporary bleeding, infection, or, in very rare cases, accidental injection into a blood vessel. When deciding if a dental block is right for you, it’s important to consider your personal pain tolerance and the specific areas being treated.
