Numbing Cream For Laser Tattoo Removal
Benefits of Using Numbing Cream for Laser Tattoo Removal
At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we understand the importance of comfort during laser tattoo removal. Numbing cream offers significant benefits, primarily by reducing the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure. By effectively dulling the sensation, patients can undergo longer sessions, achieving their desired outcomes more swiftly and comfortably. Our products, such as the LeedFrost 10.56% Lidocaine Cream, are tailored to provide maximum relief, making the experience significantly more tolerable.
How Does Numbing Cream Work for Laser Tattoo Removal?
Numbing creams work by blocking sodium channels in the nerve endings on the skin, inhibiting the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Lidocaine, a common active ingredient in our products, is particularly effective in numbing the skin. When applied before laser tattoo removal, it temporarily desensitizes the treatment area, allowing the laser technician to perform the procedure with minimal discomfort for the patient.
Types of Numbing Cream for Laser Tattoo Removal
We offer a range of numbing creams and gels designed to suit various procedures and sensitivities. Our selection includes:
- LeedFrost 10.56% Lidocaine Cream: Available in multiple sizes, this cream is a standard choice for effective numbing.
- Progelcaine 9.6% Lidocaine Gel: Ideal for those seeking a gel formulation for easy application.
- TKTX Range: Offers higher lidocaine concentrations, such as the TKTX Gold Numbing Cream with 23% lidocaine, catering to more intense numbing needs.
Application Process of Numbing Cream for Laser Tattoo Removal
Proper application of numbing cream is crucial for its effectiveness. Follow these steps:
- Clean the area with soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Apply a thick layer of numbing cream, covering the area completely.
- Cover the area with plastic wrap to lock in moisture and enhance absorption.
- Leave the cream on for 30 to 60 minutes to allow full numbing action.
- Remove the wrap and wipe off excess cream before beginning the procedure.
Side Effects of Numbing Cream for Laser Tattoo Removal
While most patients tolerate numbing creams well, there are potential side effects to be aware of:
- Skin irritation or redness
- Allergic reactions, particularly in those with lidocaine sensitivity
- Temporary skin discoloration
We advise a patch test before full application to check for adverse reactions, particularly for first-time users.
Precautions to Take When Using Numbing Cream for Laser Tattoo Removal
To ensure safety and efficacy, consider the following precautions:
- Use as directed and avoid excessive application to prevent systemic absorption.
- Consult with a licensed professional, especially if there are any medical concerns.
- Store creams away from children and pets.
At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we emphasize the importance of using our products responsibly.
Alternatives to Numbing Cream for Laser Tattoo Removal
While numbing creams are a popular choice, some alternatives can also aid in pain management:
- Ice Packs: Cold therapy can temporarily numb the area.
- Oral Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen can reduce discomfort.
- Cryotherapy Devices: Specialized equipment that cools the skin during the procedure.
