Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Preparation Phase
Clean the application area thoroughly with mild soap and water. Pat dry gently with a clean towel. This ensures maximum absorption and prevents contamination.
-
Application Technique
Apply a thick layer (2-3mm) of lidocaine ointment to the affected area. Use approximately 1-2 grams for a palm-sized area. Do not rub in completely - leave a visible layer on the skin.
-
Coverage Method
For enhanced effectiveness, cover the area with plastic wrap or an occlusive dressing. This increases penetration and speeds up the numbing process.
-
Timing Guidelines
Wait 30-60 minutes for standard numbing. For deeper procedures, allow 60-120 minutes. Set a timer to ensure proper absorption time.
-
Removal Process
Remove excess cream with a tissue before the procedure. The numbing effect will persist for 2-4 hours after removal.
Important Safety Tips
- Never exceed the recommended dosage (4.5mg/kg body weight)
- Avoid application on broken or inflamed skin unless directed by a physician
- Keep away from eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes
- Store at room temperature (15-30°C) away from direct sunlight
- Check expiration date before each use
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-application: More cream doesn't mean better numbing - it increases risk of side effects
- Rushing the process: Allow full absorption time for optimal results
- Reapplying too soon: Wait at least 4 hours between applications
- Ignoring reactions: Stop use if you experience unusual symptoms
