Is the dermal fillers procedure painful?

Numbing cream is used 20-30 minutes prior to treatment. The injection itself contains a local anaesthetic, which numbs the injection site and can negate pain during and after the procedure. I pride myself on being a very slow precise injector to limit pain & bruising.
