At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we understand the importance of patient comfort and procedural efficiency for licensed professionals. One of our flagship products, the 10% lidocaine cream, is specifically designed to cater to a wide range of applications, ensuring your practice can provide the utmost care.

Pain Relief

Our 10% lidocaine cream offers exceptional pain relief for various conditions, including minor burns, cuts, and skin irritations, providing a soothing sensation and reducing discomfort for patients.

Skin Numbing

Before aesthetic procedures such as laser hair removal or microneedling, applying our cream can numb the skin, enhancing patient comfort and allowing for a smoother process.

Our cream also finds its place in tattoo studios, offering pain relief and skin numbing for a more comfortable tattooing experience. The efficacy of our product has made it a favorite among professionals in the tattoo industry.

Potential Side Effects of 10 Lidocaine Cream

While our lidocaine cream is formulated to be safe and effective, understanding potential side effects is crucial for professionals to ensure patient safety and comfort.

Skin Irritation

Occasionally, patients might experience mild skin irritation, including redness or itching at the application site. These symptoms are generally temporary and resolve on their own.

Allergic Reactions

Though rare, some individuals might have an allergic reaction to lidocaine. Symptoms like severe itching, hives, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical attention.

Numbness

Overapplication can lead to excessive numbness beyond the targeted area. It’s important to follow application guidelines closely to prevent this.

How to Apply 10 Lidocaine Cream

Proper application is key to maximizing the effectiveness of our 10% lidocaine cream, ensuring patient comfort and safety during procedures.

Clean the Area

Begin by cleaning the area of application with mild soap and water to remove any dirt or oils, which can affect the cream’s absorption and effectiveness.

Apply a Thin Layer

Using a glove or applicator, apply a thin layer of the cream to the area, ensuring even coverage without rubbing it in. This method helps achieve optimal numbing effect.

Do Not Cover with a Bandage

Avoid covering the area with a bandage, as this can increase absorption too quickly, potentially leading to adverse effects. Allow the cream to naturally absorb into the skin.

Precautions for Using 10 Lidocaine Cream

For the safety and comfort of patients, certain precautions should be observed when using our lidocaine cream.

Avoid Contact with Eyes

Ensure the cream does not come into contact with the eyes, as it can cause severe irritation. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the eyes with water immediately.

Do Not Use on Broken Skin

Applying the cream on broken or irritated skin can lead to excessive absorption, increasing the risk of side effects. Only use on intact skin unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Consult a Doctor Before Using on Children

Children are more sensitive to the effects of lidocaine. Always consult with a doctor before applying lidocaine cream to children.

Alternatives to 10 Lidocaine Cream

While our 10% lidocaine cream is highly effective for numerous applications, we recognize the need for alternatives in certain situations.

• Oral Pain Medications: For broader pain management, oral pain relievers can be used in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, topical lidocaine.

• Ice Packs: Applying cold can numb the skin and provide temporary pain relief for minor injuries or after procedures.

• Topical Analgesics: Other topical products with different active ingredients might be more suitable for certain patients or conditions.

At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we’re committed to supplying licensed professionals with top-notch products like our 10% lidocaine cream. Our expertise and dedication to quality ensure that you can provide the best care and comfort to your patients, no matter the procedure.
