EMLA Anesthetic Cream

WHAT IS EMLA CREAM?    

EMLA is a numbing medication. EMLA CREAM contains two medicines: Lidocaine and Prilocaine. These belong to a group of medicine called local anesthetics.

INDICATIONS & BENEFITS OF USING EMLA

EMLA CREAM works by numbing the surface of the skin for a short time. It is put on the skin before certain medical and aesthetic medical procedures. EMLA helps to stop pain on the skin, however you may still have the feelings of pressure and touch. 

EMLA is widely used during such aesthetic treatments as botox and dermal filler injections, microdermabrasion, dermarolling, laser resurfacing, chemical peeling and others. 

ADMINISTRATION OF EMLA

When you buy EMLA online, make sure you thoroughly read the instructions leaflet provided within the product package before applying this numbing medication.

Provided below are some of the basic directions intended to guide you through the process of treatment with EMLA:

1. EMLA cream is to be applied at least 1 hour prior to any type of cosmetic procedure. For more advanced purposes, such as skin surgery, the term of application is commonly 2 hours prior to the operation;
2. Once you have selected the area upon which you will apply the cream, squeeze a thick layer upon the area, without spreading it too widely or rubbing it in. The layer of EMLA cream should be approximately 5mm thick and have 20mm in diameter, but may vary depending on the procedure you are going to commence;
3. Have a specific dressing ready. EMLA cream must be used with either band-aid dressing or occlusive film dressing;
4. Keep the dressing in place for at least 60 minutes. Depending on the procedure you are undergoing, you may need to wait for an additional period of time; in adults, EMLA cream can be left on the skin for up to 5 hours;
5. When the time of the cosmetic procedure comes, remove the dressing and clean off any remaining cream. Any procedures should to be performed only when all the traces of EMLA cream have been removed.

1 g of EMLA cream administered from the 30 g aluminum tube corresponds to a length of cream string of approximately 3.5 cm.
