EMLA Cream 5% - 30g

EMLA Cream is an anaesthetic cream that can be used to numb areas of skin before injections or minor procedures. It can be used by both adults and children and is perfect for kids who are scared of needles and need a way to reduce pain when they have an injection.

When would I need to use numbing cream?

There are many reasons why you may use an anaesthetic cream, including many minor procedures. Some of the most common reasons why people use this product include:

  • Getting a needle
  • Donating blood
  • Minor skin operations
  • Removal of warts
  • Cleansing or removal of leg ulcers
  • Having a cannula inserted 

Can I use EMLA Cream when I’m getting a tattoo?

EMLA Cream is a numbing agent and some people use it to ease their pain when they’re getting a tattoo. However, we’d recommend asking your doctor or pharmacist before doing this for yourself, to make sure that it’s the right option for you. You should also let your tattoo artist know that you’re planning on using EMLA Cream so they can make any adjustments they may need to make sure your tattoo is perfect.

How does EMLA Cream 5% work to numb my skin?

EMLA Cream contains two local anaesthetics, lidocaine and prilocaine, which both works to numb the surface of the skin. When this happens, you won’t be able to feel pain, but may still be able to feel pressure and touch, making this perfect for minor procedures or injections. You’ll typically apply a layer of this cream an hour before your procedure (although this can differ depending on your age or condition) and leave it in place, giving it enough time to get to work and numb your skin effectively before you wipe it away.

How long does this anaesthetic last?

When you’ve applied EMLA cream as recommended by the manufacturer or your doctor or pharmacist, your skin will remain numb for around 2 hours. This should be more than enough time to carry out minor procedures or for injection.
