Will I need anaesthesia for dermal filler treatments?

Your doctor and you will decide whether or not you need an anaesthetic agent. The two types of anaesthetic agents are EMLA cream which is a topical anaesthetic and usually applied about half an hour before the procedure. The other type of anaesthesia is local anaesthesia which includes an injection into the areas to be treated. Many doctors don't necessarily like to do the local injections because that adds volume to the area and that may mask our treatment.
