Best Numbing Creams for Electrolysis
Having extensive experience in electrology (and before offering all our current products), we have effectively used a combination treatment called NumbSkin 10.56% COMBO to treat sensitive areas for patients who fear electrolysis. Unlike other products, this treatment has shown excellent results. Additionally, we have discovered that we can charge a separate fee for administering the lidocaine products or have patients buy and use them beforehand, which has proven highly effective.
Patients undergoing electrolysis without anesthetics may typically experience stinging, especially in sensitive areas. However, it is essential to note that there should be no feeling of jabbing or poking when the needle is inserted; it should not resemble an injection in any way.
After delivering the current, it is important not to feel a sensation similar to tweezing or plucking when the hair is epilated. If a patient undergoing electrolysis experiences this sensation, they should inform their practitioner immediately, as the hair is still connected to the blood supply. The hair will likely grow back in the next cycle.
When using lidocaine cream with a concentration of 10 percent, have your electrologist remove the dressing before the treatment, regardless of the type of anesthetic you use. The effectiveness of the anesthetic will diminish shortly after removing the plastic covering. Removing the plastic covering in stages can help maintain numbness in the area for a longer duration.
