What happens during treatment

Furthermore, lidocaine, an ingredient in the fillers we use, numbs the region being filled while the injection is being administered. This ensures the patient feels no pain and experiences less bruising than with topical numbing creams alone. The filler is then gently injected using a fine needle or cannula. The session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, and most clients describe only slight pressure or a mild tingling sensation. You can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment.
