A New Filler with Lidocaine
By Dr. R. Jarial | April 28, 2009
Hello everyone…………….
There is some exciting news in the filler arena. A new filler is being tested with Lidocaine. The filler is hyaluronic acid that contains lidocaine and is being referred as “DEO-NADGL.”
Based on the prelimary studies, patient satisfaction is high……and more importantly, the volume of the injected areas are holding up to 4 months. As with any minor procedure, there are side effects that can occur, such as bruising, inflammation, and pain/ tenderness. These were reported as transient side effects.
This is an exciting development in that local injections for anesthesia (i.e., dental blocks) could potentially be avoided.
