Wouldn’t it be nice to avoid those intolerable pains and getting what should be done, done without that hassle sensation? Luckily, Dr. Numb (Numbing Cream/ Topical Anesthetic Cream) offers that comfort you’ve been looking for. Think about it, why fell pain when you can go for the painless way? Think Smart! Choose the smarter way.

Dr. Numb contains lidocaine, a substance that has been used for many years as anesthetics in medical and dental offices. Dr. Numb contains more of a pure form of lidocaine which acts as the numbing anesthetic cream or topical anesthetics for the skin. The purity is very important, because not all lidocaine is manufactured and refined as Dr. Numb has been. Pain is caused by the stimulation of pain receptors at the ends of the nerves. The stimulation causes sodium to enter the nerve ending, which causes an electrical signal to build up in the nerve. When this electrical signal is big enough, it passes along the nerve to the brain, where the signal is interpreted as pain. Dr. Numb works by temporarily blocking this pathway of pain signals along nerves. Dr. Numb numbing anesthetic cream does this by stopping the sodium entering the nerve ending at the site of the pain. This prevents an electrical signal building up and passing along the nerve fibers to the brain.

A lot of options to deliver anesthesia have developed over the previous several decades. Administration of topical anesthetics to administer pain associated with procedures such as laceration repair may avoid the need for infiltrative local anesthesia injections and associated pain from the injections. Topical anesthesia also prevents the risk of wound margin distortion that exists with infiltrative injection administration. Many dosage forms available (eg, gels, sprays, creams, ointments, patches) and provide the clinician with precise options for application under various circumstances.

How to Apply the Numbing Cream
1. Purchase a topical numbing cream.
2. Wash the area receiving laser treatment with soap and water. Dry area completely.
3. Apply a thick amount of numbing cream to the area and rub in thoroughly.
4. Now that the cream has been rubbed into the tattoo, place an additional, thin layer of cream over the area.
5. Cover the cream with plastic wrap (saran wrap). The heat under the plastic wrap helps activate the cream. And keeps the cream form drying off.
6. Leave the plastic wrap on until it is removed by the professional before the procedure.

Tips & Warnings
• Leave the cream on the skin longer for better results. Don’t remove the saran wrap until you feel the numbing effect.

How does it work?
Topical anesthetics reversibly obstruct nerve conduction close to their site of administration, thereby producing temporary loss of sensation in a limited area. Nerve impulse conduction is blocked by diminishing nerve cell membrane permeability to sodium ions, possibly by competing with calcium-binding sites that control sodium permeability. This change in permeability results in reduced depolarization and an increased excitability threshold that, ultimately, prevents the nerve action potential from forming.

Skin Absorption
Skin absorption is highly variable. Most painkiller agents exist as solids and are only superficially absorbed through intact skin. Eutectic mixtures result in liquids that liquefy at lower temperatures than their single components. This permits elevated concentrations of anesthetics, which results in superior dermal anesthesia for intact skin. Other methods of increasing skin penetration incorporate liposomal preparations, iontophoresis, and transdermal patches.

A fresh double-blind, paired study of 82 adult volunteers compared a lidocaine/tetracaine transdermal patch (Synera) with lidocaine/prilocaine cream prior to vascular access at the antecubital site. The lidocaine/tetracaine patch provided helpful anesthesia in as little as 10 minutes and results showed superior anesthesia at all application times less than 60 minutes.

Indications
Topical anesthetics are used for a variety of skin and mucous membrane conditions, including (but not limited to) pruritus and pain due to minor burns, skin eruptions (eg, varicella, sunburn, poison ivy, insect bites), and local analgesia on intact skin. With the exemption of lidocaine-prilocaine as a eutectic mixture, topical anesthetics are poorly absorbed through intact skin. Because of differences in systemic absorption and toxicity, the ideal choice of topical anesthetic and particular concentration depends on the intended use. It has also been applied to children to reduce discomfort prior to injections or to starting an intravenous line.
