Emla cream contains two active substances, lidocaine and prilocaine. These together create a numbing effect that works on the skin to provide pain relief during procedures like blood tests or injections when used correctly with Emla you may still experience feelings of pressure and touch but these should be much easier than if no medication was being applied at all!
Emla cream is an effective way to numb the skin before a procedure. In most cases, it can take around one hour for Emla’s numbing effect but you’ll want make sure that read through your patient leaflet and apply as needed accordingly depending on circumstances!
The active ingredients will soak into the area covered with airtight transparent dressings which allow them enough time so they work properly – these types of dressing should also stay in place throughout any procedures done during this period (unless there are wounds being closed).
