Topical Anesthetic Information
Allergic reaction:
Allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. If you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your physician immediately. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include: redness, swelling, dryness, rash, blistering, extreme discomfort, etc..
Numbness:
We cannot accept responsibility if the area to be treated does not respond to numbing cream. Each individual is different according to many factors including skin type. Some client’s report the area to be completely numb, while others may experience some level of discomfort.
Procedure
During the procedure, a numbing gel/cream is used. The products are formulated to be perfectly safe and can be purchased over the counter from any pharmacy/chemist. The anesthetic is placed over the area to be treated for 30-45 minutes, then carefully removed prior to treatment. As a result of the treatment, combined with the use of the anesthetic, you can expect to experience some redness/swelling that can last from 1-4 days. You should always follow your post procedure/aftercare advice for the best results.
