Information

Emla skin numbing cream can be used prior to the following procedures:
• Minor superficial cosmetic procedures
e.g. laser hair removal, tattoo removal
• Needle insertions e.g. blood sampling
• Vaccinations
• Superficial surgical procedures
• Genital skin procedure e.g. circumcision
• Split skin grafting (transplantation of skin)
• Cleaning of leg ulcers

Why use Emla Skin Numbing cream?

Laser Hair Removal
With skin numbing creams like Emla, laser hair removal doesn't have to hurt. The topical treatment numbs the surface of the skin helping you get through painful laser hair removal treatments more comfortably.

Minor Superficial Cosmetic Procedures
When it's time to look your best and you don't want the discomfort - Emla cream can help numb the pain and see you through your next minor superficial cosmetic procedure.

Vaccinations & injections
There are all sorts of reasons why you may be concerned about vaccinations - but experiencing needle pain can be one worry you can overcome with the help of Emla numbing cream.

Tattoo Removal
Want to say goodbye to your unwanted ink - but know the procedure can be painful? Make Emla skin numbing cream part of your tattoo rethink to help prevent the pain associated with the process.

How Emla Skin Numbing Cream Works:
Emla helps make your skin feel numb for a short time, blocking the pain signals from only the area of skin where the cream is applied.
Emla is a topical anaesthetic cream that contains lidocaine (lignocaine) and prilocaine. It is applied directly to the skin to help lessen the pain experienced during common skin laser treatments such as the removal of unwanted hair. Emla cream needs to be applied at least 1 hour before your procedure.

• Ensure that the skin is clean and dry
• Press out sufficient quantity of cream onto the site of the procedure
• Do not spread out the cream
• For needle procedures in adults this isabout 2g or half of a 5g tube
• Take one of the enclosed occlusive dressings and remove the centre cut-out piece
• Other occlusive dressings can be used if there is no dressing in pack. E.g. plastic film such as cling wrap should be stuck on with adhesive tape

• Peel the paper liner from the paper framed dressing. Cover Emla cream so that you get a thick layer underneath
• Smooth down the dressing edges carefully to avoid leakage
• Remove the paper frame and mark the time of application on the occlusive dressing
• Remove the occlusive dressing immediately before the procedure
• Wipe off the cream and clean the area with alcohol
• You can find out more about using Emla in the Consumer Medicine Information leaflet or by talking to your doctor or pharmacist

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mony85 from Work well! Made life a lot easier. Works well for someone with a needle phobia! Used them for Clexane injections that I was particularly worried about in the hospital post c-section.
