Pain Relief for Procedures
At our Bondi Junction clinic, we understand that even minor aesthetic procedures can cause anxiety. That's why we offer numbing creams to enhance your comfort during treatment. These topical anaesthetics can significantly reduce sensation, ensuring a more relaxed experience.
How Numbing Creams Work
Numbing creams are applied directly to the skin, creating temporary numbness in the treated area. They typically contain local anaesthetic agents, such as:
Lidocaine: A common anaesthetic that blocks pain signals from nerves.
Tetracaine: Often combined with lidocaine for a longer-lasting effect.
Benefits of Numbing Creams
Reduced Discomfort: Numbing creams make injections and procedures more tolerable.
Improved Patient Experience: Minimising pain leads to a more positive experience.
Enhanced Precision: A relaxed patient allows for more precise treatment by our doctors.
Important Considerations
Efficacy: The effectiveness can vary based on the cream, application time, and individual's skin sensitivity.
Application Time: Follow instructions for optimal results (usually 30-60 minutes before treatment).
Allergies: Discuss any allergies to local anaesthetics with your doctor.
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using numbing creams.
Who May Benefit
Numbing creams are especially beneficial for:
Patients with low pain tolerance.
Procedures in sensitive areas (e.g., lips, eyes).
Multiple injections or longer treatment sessions.
