Pain Relief Options

We take a professional, clinical approach to pain relief. That means above all that we have a comprehensive range of pain relief options in order to put you at ease; but also that we will recommend approaches which are appropriate to your lifestyle, body and the treatment you have chosen.

TRUSTED

Always by your side

Many of our pain relief options are complimentary. Arrive early to relax in our LED lounge and take advantage of our numbing creams, always available on request. We offer numbing creams at various strengths depending on your procedure, including the strongest preparations available on the market.

Non-medical pain relief

We offer various pain diversion tools (e.g. vibration T bars, soft stress balls, sharp stress globes), distraction methods (even including Netflix!) and relaxation tools, including meditation equipment.

Chill out!

Cold is an excellent pain suppressant, so we are proud to offer cold gel pads or ice packs and the latest technology approaches: the iCool Cryotherapy cool air device and Targetcool Cryotherapy-mediated pain relief options.

Clinical relief

Provided it is clinically appropriate (we will always advise), local anaesthetic injections are, of course, available.

Putting your comfort first

We’ve built our reputation on patient safety and a consistently high level of service and care – and that includes our approach to pain relief.

Communication

We will always offer honest, open advice. If you have questions or concerns about pain relief, please don’t hesitate to ask.

 
Safety

Clinical-grade safety is our top priority. We will only recommend pain relief options that are safe and proven, and will always recommend the minimum appropriate for any treatment.

From the moment I walked in, I had such a lovely experience. I was made to feel really welcome straight away and the whole place had a warm, relaxing and professional atmosphere. Kelly was absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the HydraFacial and how it deeply cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin. She made sure I felt comfortable throughout, and the treatment itself was fantastic. My skin felt instantly refreshed, deeply cleansed and noticeably more hydrated, with a smoother texture and a healthy, radiant glow. It also looked clearer and more even, with pores feeling less congested and my complexion visibly brighter. Such a positive experience from walking through the door to leaving. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Kelly. Looking forward to using some products I dr used to buy grom them Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable!

I had such a lovely experience with Kelly for my HydraFacial. The whole treatment was incredibly relaxing and comfortable, and Kelly was so gentle and professional throughout. My skin looked noticeably brighter and more refreshed immediately afterwards, which I was really happy with. Everyone at the clinic was so friendly and welcoming, and the environment is beautiful and very relaxing too. Such a great experience overall — I’ll definitely be coming back!

My initial consultation was with Anastasia, who is incredibly knowledgeable about skincare. She listened to all of my concerns, addressed each one thoroughly, and is helping me build a skincare routine that will support my skin journey. For my initial treatment, I had a lovely HydraFacial with Kelly. She was so warm and welcoming and made me feel completely at ease. She gave me excellent skincare advice and helped me create a plan moving forward based on the consultation I’d already had. I left feeling much more confident about my skincare journey and would definitely recommend her. I highly recommend Dr Ana’s Skin Clinic. The team is professional and the clinic provides a calm, welcoming and personalised environment.

I had a SoftWave treatment with Anastasia at Dr Ana The Skin Clinic a month ago, and I couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the results I’ve seen so far. From start to finish, Anastasia was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. What really stood out to me was the level of preparation and care taken to ensure the treatment was as comfortable as possible. She thoroughly explained every step of the process beforehand and used her expertise to tailor the treatment carefully, checking in with me throughout to make sure I was comfortable. I had expected the treatment to be quite painful, but thanks to Anastasia’s skill, technique, and preparation, it wasn’t painful at all. Now that I’m a month on from my treatment, I’m really pleased with the results I’ve seen. My skin already looks firmer, smoother, and healthier, and I’m excited to see the continued improvements over the coming months. I would highly recommend Anastasia and Dr Ana The Skin Clinic to anyone considering SoftWave or other aesthetic treatments. Thank you, Anastasia, for delivering such fantastic results.

I had a facial at Dr. Ana’s clinic and it was a wonderful experience. Kelly did an amazing job with the treatment — professional, gentle, and very attentive throughout. My skin felt refreshed and glowing. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

FAQs

You are your best pain relief: here are the top ways you can minimise discomfort.

Paracetamol

Take paracetamol as per the manufacturer’s instructions if it is medically safe for you to do. Please avoid Ibuprofen.

Hormonal Awareness

Avoid treatments around your hormonal cycle, as being close to peak menstrual cycle during a treatment will exacerbate the sensation of discomfort or pain.

Relax!

It sounds obvious, but relax, avoid rushing or stress, and arrive in ample time ahead of your treatment – not just to enjoy our LED lounge, but to rest your body.

Avoid coffee

Cut out the coffee on the morning of your treatment. It sensitises you as well as waking you up, so give it a miss for the day.

And finally…

Follow the pre-care instructions given to you by our team. They’re highly qualified professionals, and the advice they give has been carefully developed for your safety and comfort.
