Dermatology cosmetic treatments like laser hair removal, microblading, Botox and permanent makeup are used to improve the appearance of the skin. However, most of these treatments are either invasive or the one which heat the skin, leading to pain and discomfort. For example, laser hair removal is performed by throwing intense laser beams on the skin while permanent makeup involves the penetration of the skin to embed the ink. Botox is injected into the skin.

Therefore, experiencing pain is obvious in these processes. Don’t worry. You can keep pain out of the processes by using numbing cream.

Numbing cream is a topical anesthetic which dulls the pain receptors. Simply put, it desensitizes your skin patch against pain or sensation. The effect lasts up to couple of hours.

Here we will walk through the dermatology treatment where you can eliminate pain using a numbing cream.

Laser Hair Removal:

Laser hair removal is known for delaying unwanted hair. The process involves the use of intense laser rays to remove the hair follicles. But it is painful due to the intense laser beams. Therefore, you should use a numbing cream beforehand to have a painless process.

Botox:

Botox is used to minimize ageing signs like forehead lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet over the skin. Botox filled injections are given to control the weakness of the muscles. This invasive nature makes it a bit painful treatment. Numbing cream can be used in this case.

Dermarolling:

Dermarolling is done with a handheld roller studded with the needles, which create tiny punctures over the skin. It will boost the collagen production as the skin heals. But you may end up with pain and even bleeding if you use larger needles. Luckily, numbing cream is here to dull the pain being occurred in this process.

Permanent Makeup:

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is used to draw facial features like lip line and eyebrows using ink. It is useful for those who have little to no eyebrows or thin lip line due to ageing or medical condition. Since it is done with needles, the process is painful and may cause soreness and swelling. To ease the pain, you can use numbing cream to dull your skin.

Microblading:

Microblading is a process to create the strokes that resemble eyebrows. The eyebrow strokes last up to 3 years. However, it can’t be denied that microblading causes pain and discomfort. You will feel as if your skin is being scratched. Don’t worry. Numbing cream is here to make this process a breeze for you.

(NOTE: Use the cream carefully over eyebrow as it can drop into your eyes. It is better if you get it done from others.)
