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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

High quality clinical and customer care from the Dr Ana clinic. With Anastasia the Aerolase -era, I was fully prepared with a patch test to support my treatment plan and had detailed discussions and explanation of pre treatment and after care in order to achieve optimum results. Would highly recommend.![]()

Just had a great hydrafacial with Kelly. The information and step by step explanations were great. We talked through my concerns and I was given some really great advice that felt genuine and supportive to improve my skin (rather than just a sales pitch). I have definitely found my new place for facials and am booking my next appointment now!!![]()

I had a wonderful experience at Dr Ana Skin Clinic, where I enjoyed a Maternity Facial with Kelly. From start to finish, Kelly was incredibly professional, caring, and attentive, making me feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after throughout the treatment. She took great care to ensure everything was perfect, and the whole experience felt so calming and special. The service was excellent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kelly, for such a lovely treatment! 💕![]()

Today, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ana and her incredible team for showing me something that goes far beyond professional care — genuine compassion, kindness, and humanity. Going through cancer has been one of the scariest and most difficult experiences of my life. When you face an illness like this, you realise how precious life is and how much a little kindness, understanding, and warmth can mean. Returning to Dr Ana Skin Clinic today was an emotional moment for me, and the way Dr Ana welcomed me back touched my heart more than words can express. Dr Ana is not only an exceptionally talented and highly skilled doctor, but, above all, a truly wonderful woman with a beautiful heart. She understands that illness does not discriminate, that life can change for any of us, and that behind every face is a person with feelings, fears, and a story. Her compassion made me feel welcomed, understood, and cared for at a time when I needed it most. A very special thank you to Kelly, with whom I shared a few tears today. Sometimes, words are simply not enough, and it is in these emotional moments that the true kindness of another person shines through. Thank you for your warmth, understanding, and for making me feel that I was not just another client walking through the door. Thank you also to Anastasia and Amna for being part of such a lovely and caring team. Every one of you contributed to making my return feel special, and I will carry that kindness with me. Dr Ana, you are a beautiful reminder that being a great doctor is not just about knowledge, talent, or skill — it is also about having the heart to care for people when life becomes frightening and uncertain. Cancer may change many things in life, but it also makes you appreciate the truly special people who cross your path. Today, I was reminded that kindness can bring comfort, tears can be shared with understanding, and compassion can make even the hardest journey feel a little less lonely. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Dr Ana, Kelly, Anastasia, and Amna. You are all wonderful, and I feel genuinely grateful to have been welcomed back by such a special team. With heartfelt appreciation and love. ❤️![]()

I had an appointment with Ali this time. He was extremely knowledgeable about good skin care and the combinations of products and treatments that can be used. Anastasia gave further advice about skin care. I bought a few items that I am delighted with. Everyone and everything about this clinic is superb. Highly recommend !!
FAQs
You are your best pain relief: here are the top ways you can minimise discomfort.
Take paracetamol as per the manufacturer’s instructions if it is medically safe for you to do. Please avoid Ibuprofen.
Avoid treatments around your hormonal cycle, as being close to peak menstrual cycle during a treatment will exacerbate the sensation of discomfort or pain.
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.
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.
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.
