• Abstract:

  Introduction: Orofacial harmonization is a specialty whose function is to improve aesthetics and rehabilitate the orofacial structures in its area of activity. Patient pain management is a priority in minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. Aim: To analyse the efficacy and necessity of using anaesthetics in the main orofacial harmonization procedures. Methodology: Integrative literature review on lip fillers, botulinum toxin type A and collagen biostimulators. The databases used for the search were PUBMED, Portal de Periódico CAPES and BVS; the following descriptors were applied: "Botulinum Toxin Type A", "Dermal Fillers", "Anesthesia", "Collagen" and "Pain". Results: 23 articles published between 2011 and 2024, the period established for the search, were found. Conclusion: The anesthesia procedures adopted in the different facial harmonization processes considered in the studies showed that the gold standard is lidocaine, followed by prilocaine, combined with techniques such as ice compresses and vibration anesthesia, make them fundamental, as well as effective in minimizing the pain and discomfort to be felt by the patient.
