# Tell me more about intravenous sedation

Intravenous sedation is very safe, and it can make you feel more relaxed during the treatment, sometimes it has an amnesic effect so you don't remember all of the details of your treatment when you're having it done but you're still comfortable and can speak to us throughout.

 

We also still need to fully numb you up with local anaesthetic.

 

In terms of how the intravenous sedation is delivered, we put a thin flexible tube known as a cannula in the back of your hand or your arm and deliver the medicine that you need in variable doses to achieve the effect that we want and to ensure that you're nice and comfortable.

 

This form of sedation is very safe, but you will need to be accompanied home.

 

For a lot of patients, it helps them through their complex treatment or if they're nervous it gives them more confidence to come in and see us.
