How Much numbing cream is needed?

Undergoing a painful skin procedure had always been scary, but thanks to numbing creams, the scare is now a thing of the past. Numbing creams offer respite from pain associated with waxing, tattooing, piercing and other skin treatments.

Waxing the bikini area and/or the underarms had always been a nightmare before the authentic numbing creams hit the market. Now, by applying a predefined amount of numbing cream in the bikini line or underarms, people can get waxing done without any pain.

The difficult part, with numbing creams that numb the skin before a painful cosmetic procedure, is selecting the right numbing cream for your need, especially given the number of numbing creams out there.

The idea should be to select a water based, non-oily topical anesthetic numbing cream which minimizes and relieves pain and discomfort that people experience during piercing, tattoo or other such skin treatments.

Use of numbing cream when it is needed

·         Apply a thick layer of numbing cream (almost like a facial mask) on the area to undergo treatment about an hour before the treatment

·         Cover the area where the cream is applied with a plastic wrap and tape the edges

·         Do not remove the wrap yourself, let the doctor or dermatologist do it for you

·         Don’t wash of the cream until asked to do so by the doctor

Numbing cream usage tips for the face

·         For the face, give the numbing cream a little more time. Apply it about hour and a half before the cosmetic procedure

·         Apply extra layer of numbing creams to the more sensitive areas of the face (avoid swallowing or applying it around the eyes)
