Tattoo Removal 2nd Treatment

Today I turn up and walk into the clinic at about 4pm.(Clinic closes at 5pm) As the timing was rather late without me fixing an appointment in advance, I did not apply the numb cream and went straight for the laser treatment. Numbing cream is known to relieve some of the pain for anyone going for laser removal. Just like my very 1st treatment.

Taken immediately after the treatment. (Lesser white frosting compared to the previous)

In order for the numb cream to take effect, it has to be applied at least an hour or more. Here's a research on numb creams:

Numbing creams – such as Emla or BLT – often include benzocaine, lidocaine, prilocaine, or tetracaine in varying concentrations as active ingredients. These creams are both available in low-strength, over-the-counter formulations and in high-strength, prescription-only formulations. The main problem with creams is that they require time to take effect.

Most creams need to be applied at least 30 to 45 minutes in advance of the treatment. For this reason, most practitioners encourage patients to apply the cream at home before their appointment. Some clinics use numbing creams as the primary skin numbing method for laser treatments, while others offer it as an option available at an additional charge for sensitive patients wanting additional numbing.

Pros:
Works in Addition to Other Methods
Can be Sold for Upcharge
Anyone Can Sell OTC Formulations

Cons:
Must Be Applied in Advance
Moderate Efficacy

Taken after my bath today.

Will update the cost in my next post.
