Plasma pen treatments, or plasma fibroblast skin tightening, have become increasingly popular. They offer a noninvasive alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures. However, the process can be uncomfortable for some, leading many to seek out numbing creams to ease the pain.
This article will discuss the best numbing cream for plasma pen treatments and how to choose the right one.
What is a Plasma Pen?
Before we dive into the best numbing cream options, let’s first understand what a plasma pen is. A plasma pen is a handheld device that uses a small electrical charge to create a plasma gas between the 
device and the skin. The plasma pen creates a small electrical arc that vaporizes the top layer of skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
The process is called Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening and is used for various cosmetic treatments, including wrinkle reduction, scar removal, and skin tightening.
Why Use Numbing Cream for Plasma Pen Treatments?
While plasma pen treatments are generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience discomfort during the procedure. It can be due to the sensitivity of the treatment area or the individual’s pain tolerance. Many people use a numbing cream before their plasma pen treatment to make the process more comfortable—numbing creams work by blocking the nerve signals in the skin, reducing the sensation of pain.
Choosing the Best Numbing Cream for Plasma Pen Treatments
There are a few key factors to consider when choosing the best numbing cream for your plasma pen treatment.

Ingredients
The active ingredient is the first thing to look for in a numbing cream. The most common numbing agents are lidocaine, benzocaine, and prilocaine. Lidocaine is the most effective and commonly used ingredient, but some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to it. It’s important to read the ingredients carefully and choose a cream that works best for your skin.
Strength
The strength of the numbing cream is also an important factor to consider. The higher the percentage of the active ingredient, the stronger the numbing effect will be. However, a higher percentage may also increase the risk of side effects. It’s best to start with a lower-strength cream and gradually increase if needed.
Application Method
Numbing creams come in various forms, including creams, gels, and sprays. Creams and gels are typically the most popular options for plasma pen treatments as they can be easily applied and absorbed into the skin. Lidocaine sprays may need to be put into a dropper bottle to prevent them from getting into the eyes.
