Using Topical Anesthesia
Topical anesthesia (e.g.: EMLA, L.M.X.4, Topicaine) may be applied
prior to treatment for patients who might feel discomfort during
treatment.
Apply as follows:
•
At least one hour prior to treatment, apply the topical
anesthesia directly onto the skin.The total effect time is
3 hours. However after 2 hours it begins to lose peak
effectiveness.
•
Apply liberally, but do not rub it into the skin.
•
Cover with an occlusive (adhesive, clear plastic or
nylon) dressing.
•
Immediately before treatment (at least 60 minutes after
it has been applied), remove the dressing. Using a
damp cloth or hygenic wipe, remove any residual
anesthesia., then thouroughly clean and dry the entire
area before begining any procedure.
The above are general guidelines. With any specific topical
anesthesia, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Note and follow the manufacturer's instructions,
contraindications and warnings.
