However, patients discomfort during these injections is a challenging issue. Aim This review explores common approaches to reduce pain and discomfort during cosmetic injections through the available literature. Methods The eligible studies through searching in PubMed have been entered to evaluate the common methods of pain reduction for cosmetic injections. Results According to reviewed studies, vibration, local anesthesia, and vapocoolant anesthesia are common methods applied in order to reduce pain and discomfort in patients. All of these methods are able to reduce pain through their affects on neuron fibers. Conclusion: It seems that all common approaches can result in some amount of pain reduction. Using a combination of these methods during injections, practitioners can successfully reduce the pain of injection.

“…The mechanism by which pain is modulated is explained by the gate control theory . According to this theory, the pain sensation is modulated by a non‐noxious stimulus . The mechanical stimulus activates the mechanoreceptors, causing the stimulation of large‐diameter Ab fibers which blocks the pain signals being transferred to the brain .…”

The number of office-based procedures performed utilizing local anesthesia continues to rise, particularly in dermatologic settings. As more emphasis is placed on cost effectiveness in medicine, it is important to understand the role that office-based procedures can play in providing excellent dermatologic care. In addition, it is essential to continually demonstrate that local anesthesia administered in office-based settings is safe and effective in order to maintain a high standard of care within the specialty. Achieving adequate local anesthesia is imperative to ensure patient comfort, reduce anxiety, and promote optimal outcomes. The clinician should have a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology, mechanism of action, practical applications and techniques, and potential adverse events of various topical and injectable anesthetics in order to enhance patient satisfaction and safety. Lidocaine, which is the most commonly used local anesthetic, has a rapid onset, moderate duration, and excellent safety profile, making it a staple in office-based procedures.
