However, rapid weight reduction induced by these medications often leads to esthetic challenges, including facial volume loss, skin laxity, and body contour irregularities.

The first-line modalities for procedural analgesia during most dermatologic procedures are topical and injectable local anesthetics, such as lidocaine. However, in some medical and cosmetic dermatologic procedures, pain cannot be effectively managed with local anesthetics due to procedure-specific lack of efficacy, large treatment surface areas, high dosage requirements, allergies, or other contraindications.
