Everyone experiences pain differently and has different pain thresholds. However, when it comes to anti-wrinkle injections, most people compare the sensation of the face injections to a quick prick.

However, a topical anaesthetic can be used for dermal fillers if needed.

Muscle relaxants can even be used to treat excessive sweating and jaw grinding.
