Twilight Sedation & Dental Block

Topical Numbing Creams vs. Our Sedation Methods

The majority of injectors use only topical numbing cream before injecting fillers into the lips. The topical cream only numbs the surface, so injecting fillers at many places can be painful.

Dr. Doriana performs a dental block so the whole area is totally numb.  Dr. Cosgrove ensures the anesthesia duration is just enough – only about 45 minutes. Compare this to the experience of going to the dentist for a restorative procedure, after which you may lose all sensation for a few hours.

Although Dr. Doriana is a specialist in the aesthetic art of increased beauty, the anesthesiologist within her cannot inflict pain!

Twilight Sedation

We don’t believe in just good visible results; we want the patient to have a pleasant experience in our medispa.  Several procedures, such as Pearl laser resurfacing can be paired with twilight sedation, also called conscious sedation, which requires expertise and special licensing to administer. Dr. Doriana Cosgrove is a board-certified anesthesiologist with the experience and knowledge to safely and effectively provide twilight sedation to her medispa patients. 

With our help, you can only enjoy beautiful results, but a highly comfortable and relaxing in-office experience as well.
