Areas like the forehead or around the eyes, which are close to the bone and have thin skin, tend to have a higher density of nerves, leading to a greater perception of pain. In contrast, areas like the cheeks or nasolabial folds, which have thicker tissue, generally experience less stimulation. Therefore, the anesthesia time or injection speed is often adjusted differently depending on the area.
