A topical anaesthetic is applied to reduce discomfort.
Small injections are placed with a conservative approach.
We advise on cooling and what to avoid for 24–48 hours.
Final results are assessed after swelling settles.
Before Treatment: Numbing
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment begins. This helps reduce the sensation of the injections.
Many fillers also contain lidocaine, which further reduces discomfort during the procedure.
During Treatment: What It Feels Like
Most clients describe a small pinch or pressure with each injection. Treatment is usually quick, and your practitioner will work conservatively to maintain comfort and control.
After Treatment: Tenderness
After treatment, lips can feel tender and slightly swollen. This is normal and usually settles within a few days.
A cool compress can help reduce swelling and improve comfort.
Tips to Reduce Discomfort
Avoid alcohol before and after treatment
Follow aftercare guidance carefully
Avoid heat exposure for 24–48 hours
Allow swelling to settle naturally before judging the final result
