The Use Of Lidocaine Cream In Various Treatments

What is a Lidocaine Cream? ‘It is a topical anesthetic cream formulated to penetrate intact skin, for the relief of pain.’

Numbing creams can be used for a variety of procedure- small problems like an insect bite to a huge task of tattooing. Considering other numbing treatments apart from numbing cream, numbing agents are applied via injection, thereby making the procedure painful.

However, to get away with the unnecessary pain incurred during various cosmetics and medical procedures, application of numbing cream provides a thorough numbing sensation, working as effectively as injections.

Although Lidocaine Cream has an immense amount of benefits, some of them are discussed in this article.

• Cardiac Catheterization- A goodbye to all side-effects

The WHO Statistics revealed that ‘cardiovascular disease is the number one reason behind deaths in the world, leaving behind all other causes of death.’  This is a daunting achievement and there is nothing in this statistic to be proud of.

The heart is an engine of the body and it should be of the utmost importance to take a good care of it.

Cardiac Catheterization is a “process performed by cardiologists to come to a conclusion that how well does your heart functions. It is used to diagnose and treat the cardiovascular conditions.”

Although the entire procedure of Cardiac Catheterization is safe to be carried upon the treatment leaves behind some bruises, tenderness, pain, swelling or redness in the affected area. One can easily get rid of such side-effects by a proper application of Lidocaine Cream.

• Tattoos- No Pain, Only Gain

Since its advent, tattoos are one of the most trending forms of the body modifications. They act as a perfect carrier of one’s emotions and hence in the USA, 14% of Americans have at least one tattoo.

The tattoo is a permanent asset of the body and you have to pay in form pain to get a good looking tattoo on your skin. Not everyone can bear the pain incurred during the tattoo process. So, if you wish to get a tattoo and fear of pain is pushing you back, there is a solution for you hidden in a tube of Lidocaine Cream.

Lidocaine cream is used 30 minutes prior to the tattooing process. After shaving and cleaning of the affected area of the skin, lidocaine cream is rubbed into the area to be tattooed. Not to worry as numbing cream won’t affect the quality of your tattoo but it will definitely diminish the level of pain.

• Lip Microneedling- Don’t be afraid of tiny needles

The statistics of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reveals that more than 25000 lip procedures took place in the USA in 2015. A new record was made with a lip procedure being performed every 20 minutes.

A derma roller is used during the process of Microneedling. Dermaroller is full of tiny needles which are used to puncture your skin to create a pseudo wound. The wound is created to start the production of a protein present in the body called collagen. These tiny punctures alarm the collagen- the protein that boosts the younger looking skin.

The process of Microneedling involves a little to the high amount of pain, so the application of Lidocaine Cream is highly suggested before the process. Use it in a small amount, 30 minutes prior to the treatment to allow the ingredients to work effectively. After the process, you may feel irritation and redness but these are just natural symptoms of the treatment.
