Facial fillers are small injectables that can plump out the face. They are used for wrinkles and uneven surfaces on the face.

Signs of ageing occurs younger and younger these days and our quest for perfection drives us to seek out quick fixes. Muscular sagging and wrinkles can now be improved with facial fillers.

For deep lines around the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds) the fillers can soften the appearance and often eliminate the lines completely.

Will facial fillers hurt?

When working on the face area the dentist is very aware of the sensitivity. Great care is taken and a topical anesthetic can be placed on the areas about to be injected.

The injection will be very superficial and as it will not be deep it won’t hurt as much. Ice can be applied if the patient is worried about swelling.

But most patients carry on afterwards as if nothing has been done.
