Vibration Anesthesia Device – Beauty Bar

December 07, 2018
Posted at 16:41h in Blog, MedAesthetics Training, MedAesthetics Training Instructors, Medical Aesthetics, Products by
We are excited to introduce a new anesthesia device to our shop – the Beauty Bar.

Did you know that the vibration from these devices can help reduce your client’s pain sensitivity?  The T-shaped head adds mild vibration and helps relax facial muscles.  According to a study produced by the Aesthetic of Plastic Surgery, patients experienced both a clinically and statistically significant pain reduction when a vibration stimulus was co-administered with the dermal filler injections. The majority of the clients (95%) reported a preference for vibration anesthesia with subsequent dermal filler injections.

You can use the device by applying it 2-3 seconds prior to injection, 1-2cm from the site on a bony prominence and continue throughout the procedure.
