Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I apply it?
A: On clean, dry, intact skin, apply a thin, even layer over the area to be treated. Do not rub vigorously. Leave on for the time stated on your label (often around 30–60 minutes for many procedures, unless directed otherwise). Wipe off completely before the procedure. Wash hands after use.

Q: Do I need to cover it (occlusion)?
A: Follow your product directions or clinician’s advice. Some procedures benefit from a light occlusive dressing to optimise contact; others do not require occlusion.

Q: How long does the numbing last?
A: Onset and duration vary by thickness applied, area size, skin type and application time. Many users notice numbing within 30–60 minutes, with residual effect for a period after removal.

Q: Can I use it for tattoos, laser or microneedling?
A: It may be used on intact skin for superficial procedures where a topical anaesthetic is appropriate. Always follow practitioner guidance on suitability, application time and area size.

Q: Is it safe for children?
A: Use only as directed on the pack or by a health professional. Children often require smaller areas, shorter application times and careful supervision.

Q: Can I apply it to large areas?
A: No. Limit to the smallest area necessary and follow maximum dose/area instructions to avoid excessive absorption.

Q: Any side effects?
A: Possible local skin reactions (redness, blanching, itching, mild swelling). Rarely, signs of systemic anaesthetic effects can occur—stop use and seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

Q: Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
