Painless cosmetic surgery

As part of the innovations in plastic surgery, a new technique has been developed to eliminate wrinkles without the pain of surgery.
Many patients swear by the effectiveness of Botox or Restylane but their big problem was the pain. This is why Dr. Mark Steven Nestor, a dermatologist, recommends the use of a new anesthetic called Pliaglis.
Pliaglis was approved just recently by the FDA. It is an anesthetic that combines high concentrations of two commonly used topical anesthetics. When it's spread on, it forms a gel-like mask that releases the anesthesia.
"Because of amount of anesthetic in there and because of this occlusive aspect because of this gel or mask that it forms, it is very very powerful and it works very well," said Dr. Nestor.
Thirty minutes after application, the Pliaglis is peeled away but the numbness stays. This way, the prick of the needle is almost pain-free.
"The patients feel that this is virtually painless and it makes the procedure for them much much more pleasant," according to Dr. Nestor.
