Numbing Cream for Microneedling

Benefits of Numbing Cream for Microneedling

Microneedling is a popular aesthetic procedure known for its capability to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. However, the process involves creating micro-injuries on the skin, which can be uncomfortable for some patients. This is where numbing cream plays a vital role. By applying numbing cream before microneedling, professionals can significantly minimize discomfort, enhancing the overall patient experience. The primary benefit is increased patient tolerance during the procedure, allowing for optimal treatment outcomes without the hindrance of pain.

Choosing the Right Numbing Cream

With numerous options available, selecting the most suitable numbing cream can be challenging. At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we provide a variety of products tailored to different needs and sensitivities. For instance, our LeedFrost 10.56% Lidocaine Cream is a versatile choice available in various sizes to accommodate different practice demands. Additionally, our Progelcaine 9.6% Lidocaine Gel offers effective numbing, ensuring patient comfort. For those requiring specific lidocaine concentrations, our TKTX range provides options such as the TKTX Gold Numbing Cream with 23% lidocaine and the TKTX Green Numbing Cream with 16% lidocaine.

How to Apply Numbing Cream Before Microneedling

The application of numbing cream is a straightforward process, yet crucial for achieving the best results. Begin by cleaning the treatment area thoroughly to remove any dirt or oils. Apply a thin layer of the numbing cream on the skin, ensuring even coverage over the entire treatment area. Allow the cream to sit and penetrate the skin for approximately 20-30 minutes. Covering the area with plastic wrap can enhance absorption, further improving effectiveness. Always follow specific product instructions for optimal results.

Duration of Numbing Cream Effectiveness

Numbing creams typically provide effective results within 20-30 minutes of application and can last for up to one hour, depending on the product and individual skin response. It’s crucial to time the procedure within this window to ensure maximum comfort for the patient. Medical Aesthetic Supply’s range of numbing creams is designed to deliver long-lasting effects, allowing professionals to perform microneedling with minimal disruption.

Potential Side Effects of Numbing Cream

While numbing creams are generally safe when used correctly, there are potential side effects to be aware of. Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation, redness, or a tingling sensation at the application site. In rare cases, more severe reactions such as swelling or an allergic response may occur. It’s important to conduct a patch test prior to extensive application, especially if the patient has a history of skin sensitivity or allergies.

Safety Precautions When Using Numbing Cream

To ensure safety, it’s imperative to follow the instructions and guidelines provided with each numbing cream. Avoid using excessive amounts as it can lead to systemic absorption and potential toxicity. Only licensed professionals should apply these products, ensuring appropriate dosages are adhered to. Additionally, avoid applying numbing cream to broken or irritated skin to prevent adverse reactions.

Numbing Cream Alternatives for Microneedling

While numbing creams are the most popular option, there are alternatives for those seeking different solutions. Options include numbing gels, sprays, and over-the-counter oral pain medications. For instance, our Cosmic Tattoo Numbing Spray serves as an effective Vasocaine alternative, which can be used during microneedling to maintain numbing effects. It’s crucial to evaluate each patient’s needs and sensitivities to determine the best numbing solution.

Understanding the Numbing Process for Microneedling

The numbing process is essential to creating a comfortable experience for microneedling patients. By temporarily desensitizing the skin, numbing creams allow practitioners to perform the procedure efficiently and effectively, minimizing patient discomfort. Understanding the science behind numbing agents, like lidocaine, helps professionals choose the right products and application techniques to achieve desired outcomes.

At Medical Aesthetic Supply, we are dedicated to providing high-quality numbing solutions, ensuring that professionals can deliver optimal care to their patients. By understanding the nuances of numbing agents, choosing the right products, and adhering to safety protocols, practitioners can enhance the microneedling experience, ultimately leading to better patient satisfaction and results.
