Epione Offers the Latest Beauty Injection Innovation
Epione introduces the latest advance in dermal filler injections. Treatment Will Be Less Painful
With Dermal Fillers; Juvéderm®, Radiesse® and Restylane® Pre-filled Syringes Mixed With
Lidocaine.
Beverly Hills, CA, March 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- One of the downsides of dermal filler injections is the
pain associated with the injection itself. For some, this discomfort or the fear of this discomfort may be
enough to prevent them from receiving any treatment at all. In an effort to improve the patient experience
the manufacturers of the most popular dermal fillers, Juvéderm, Radiesse and Restylane, have produced
new formulations that include lidocaine as part of their pre-filled syringe dosage units.
Originally, the only fillers that contained lidocaine were collagen based. The bovine collagen fillers were
sold under the names Zyderm I, Zyderm II, and Zyplast. The human collagen fillers were known as
CosmDerm I, CosmoDerm II, and CosmoPlast. Doctors quickly realized that adding lidocaine to the
injections not only helped relieve pain, but also lessened swelling and bruising in their patients.
After this, lidocaine was added to other fillers. In a 2008 study Restylane injections were tested for any
changes when combined with lidocaine. The study showed no changes, and early results suggested that
the lidocaine could increase patient comfort during the procedure. Soon, Juvederm injections and
Radiesse injections were given the lidocaine treatment.
“I'm glad to offer this latest cosmetic enhancement technique,” states Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director
of Epione Beverly Hills. “At the end of the day, I want to provide optimal results while keeping my
patients as comfortable as possible.” Dr. Ourian's patients seem to agree: In the words of G.G., “Thank
you! Great staff - am really happy that Dr. Ourian is so experienced and reasonably conservative that he
does not over-do the treatments- i.e. he adds a little Radiesse the next time he sees you to achieve the
results h
