How you feel during your treatment at Beauty By Doctor matters as much to us as your treatment outcomes. The comfort of our patients remains at the forefront of our aesthetic services.
To meet your individual health needs, we have medical pain relief solutions that match your preferences. The treatment methods at Beauty By Doctor include numbing gels and conscious sedation, which have received doctor approval for their safety during procedures to create relaxing and empowering experiences.
Tailored Comfort Options
Deciding on the pain relief measure with your treatment allows you to maintain complete calmness and confidence throughout the process. In your consultation with Dr. Phoebe, you will receive guidance to help you choose your best option.
Oral Analgesia
People receiving oral analgesia must begin using pain-treatment drugs like paracetamol or ibuprofen before their scheduled appointment. By taking oral analgesics, you can avoid both physical pain and pre-treatment nervous tension. Patients receiving under-eye fillers, chin fillers, or dermal fillers in sensitive areas and having multiple procedures during one appointment should consider oral analgesia a beneficial form of pain relief.
Dr. Phoebe will help determine the correct medication dose when combined with numbing gel or Happy Gas to ensure all comfort methods work together. The sedative effects of oral analgesics are absent as they enable patients to maintain awareness without losing comfort. If you’ve ever wondered whether aesthetic treatments could feel more manageable, this is your entry point.
Numbing Gel
Medical-grade numbing gel is the most reliable and frequently utilised pain relief method at Beauty By Doctor. This topical anaesthetic is applied 20-30 minutes before procedures to reduce the sensitivity of skin nerve endings. The procedure experience for lip fillers, nasolabial fold filler and cheekbone contouring is more comfortable when a numbing gel has been applied.
The numbing effect automatically starts after a few minutes and lasts until the treatment is complete so that you can feel less pain during the procedure. The anaesthetic solution offers optimal benefits to new clients, individuals with tissue sensitivity, and those receiving treatment in facial areas near the eyes and mouth. People who want cosmetic procedures without unpleasant sensations should use numbing gel because it is a necessary comfort tool for achieving a natural outcome.
Conscious IV Sedation
People who need deeper relaxation benefit from conscious IV sedation yet remain responsive throughout their treatment sessions, especially when nervousness or multiple procedures are present. A qualified practitioner uses an intravenous route to deliver this sedation, which produces a feeling of drowsiness and peacefulness without losing responsiveness to the world.
The treatment method provides your bloodstream with a mix of sedatives and pain medications to establish immediate effects that remain reliable throughout your session time. The effect of sedation provides full amnesia for most patients, which makes it a suitable approach for people who are nervous about needles or need extensive facial rejuvenation services. You receive constant vital sign checks during treatment, together with postoperative support, until medical staff approve your return home.
Nitrous Oxide (Happy Gas)
The inhaled light sedation known as Nitrous Oxide or Happy Gas creates a perfect sedative experience for mildly nervous clients seeking a more relaxed treatment experience. Anxiety can make treatments like anti-wrinkle injections, forehead filler and nasolabial fold procedures feel more sensitive.
The treatment involves inhaling the gas through a mouthpiece, which is used right before your treatment begins. The sedation takes effect in a few seconds to create a feeling of calmness and weightlessness and reduce your perception of physical sensations, even though you do not pass out. You remain alert and responsive the entire time, and the effects wear off within minutes after treatment ends. It’s also completely safe and well-tolerated, even for clients new to aesthetic treatments. Many say it transforms the experience from tense to manageable, giving you the confidence to enjoy your glow-up.
The Green Whistle (Penthrox)
The Green Whistle is a handheld inhaler containing Penthrox, a hospital-grade analgesic that offers potent pain relief with rapid onset. Used widely in emergency care and aesthetic medicine, it provides a sense of calm and control to clients undergoing laser resurfacing, filler in high-sensitivity areas, or longer procedures.
Here’s how it works:
The system allows users to inhale through its mouthpiece to acquire small amounts of vapourised Penthrox medication. Its usage depends on your timing and amount of inhalation, allowing precision pain relief throughout the medical procedure. The pain-relieving effects become apparent minutes after vaporisation starts because the medication reduces discomfort without needing complete sedation.
Beauty Without the Discomfort
Every step of your journey at Beauty By Doctor is designed to help you feel safe, understood, and fully supported. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned client, our pain relief options let you choose how you experience beauty on your terms.
FAQs
What is the best pain relief option for lip fillers?
According to most patient feedback, the results demonstrate that numbing gel provides suitable anaesthetic effects for lip filler procedures. People who require additional pain relief because of low thresholds should use oral medication or nitrous oxide to enhance their comfort levels.
Is conscious IV sedation safe?
Yes. A trained practitioner delivers conscious IV sedation treatments through specified clinical settings. The procedure staff will continuously observe your condition to ensure your well-being and satisfaction.
Is there any downtime after using pain relief options?
The pain relief methods of numbing gel and nitrous oxide do not create significant recovery time. Patients receiving IV sedation should have a friend collect them and take them home because the medication can slow them down for several hours after completion.
