Dr. Jon Turk, a facial plastic surgeon in New York City, asserted that for his patients, the answer is a new technology dubbed &lsquo;Ouchless Needle.&rsquo; &ldquo;This is an instant type of anesthetic that allows you to have no preparation time for the patient,&rdquo; Fox News quoted Turk as saying. &ldquo;&hellip;and yet still get rid of that pain associated with the needle itself.&rdquo; The device attaches onto a syringe and numbs the skin just long enough to do away with the discomfort of that initial &lsquo;prick.&rsquo; &ldquo;So to be able to dull that association of the needle going in and have the patient not worry so much about that pain - it has actually reduced the anxiety level a lot in patients,&rdquo; Turk said. Earlier, the only way to help with needle pain was with topical cream that would have to be applied about 30 minutes before the procedure. &ldquo;Patients would often forget to put it on, and the staff sometimes wouldn&rsquo;t get to put it on in time,&rdquo; Turk said. &ldquo;It really wasn&rsquo;t a practical way of numbing the face.&rdquo; The &lsquo;Ouchless Needle&rsquo; is usually used with facial fillers like Botox and Juvaderm, but it is also effective for mole removal or for children&rsquo;s shots. Turk insisted that it helps reduce redness and bruising immediately in the days following the procedure. Lisa Levine, a regular patient at Turk&rsquo;s office, revealed that she has had procedures with the use of the new device and really notices a difference. &ldquo;This was definitely much easier. It was more comfortable, you don&rsquo;t feel the prick as much of the needle when it goes into your face,&rdquo; Levine said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s sensitive skin, so this was very helpful,&rdquo; she added. u00a0
