Your nerve endings have pain receptors that become stimulated when you experience pain. This allows sodium to enter the nerve ending and cause an electrical signal to build up in that nerve. When that electrical signal is big enough, it travels along the nerve to your brain and is read as pain.
Once you apply EMLA Cream, it is absorbed into your skin and temporarily blocks the pain signal pathway by stopping sodium from entering the nerve ending at the site where the pain occurs. Tattoos have gained a lot of popularity over the last several years. Does it hurt to get a tattoo? Yes it does! Although some individuals have a high threshold for pain, others quiver at the thought of being in the same room as a tattoo gun that is usually equipped with 6, 7, or more needles at one time.
EMLA Cream has shown to be ideal for small tattoos because larger ones can take time and the effects wear off.

About lidocaine skin cream Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic. Lidocaine skin cream is available on prescription. It can also be bought from a pharmacy to use before any cosmetic procedure involving a needle. Some of the skin creams contain lidocaine mixed with other local anaesthetics. Other types of lidocaine There are different types of lidocaine, including mouth gels, throat sprays and suppositories.
Lidocaine skin cream works quite quickly — it takes 30 to 60 minutes to take effect. Only use the cream on undamaged skin. Do not put it on cuts or grazes. The most common side effects are itching and tingling. Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area of skin, or exposing it to extreme heat or cold, until the numbing effect has worn off.
Most adults and children can use lidocaine skin creams. Tell your pharmacist or doctor before using this medicine if: you have had an allergic reaction to lidocaine or any of the other ingredients the skin where you need to use the cream has cuts, rashes, eczema, bleeding and scabs, and if the skin feels sore you or your child have the rare inherited conditions porphyria, methaemoglobinaemia or glucosephosphate dehydrogenase G6PD deficiency Lidocaine skin creams such as EMLA and Nulbia may not be suitable for people with porphyria, methaemoglobinaemia or G6PD deficiency because they contain a combination of local anaesthetics.
How much to use The amount you use depends on the procedure you're having and the type of lidocaine cream you're using. Read the instructions that come with the cream or follow the advice of your doctor or nurse.
How to put it on Gently squeeze the tube so the cream goes straight onto the area of skin to be treated. Do not rub it in. Place a waterproof dressing over the cream to keep it in place. The dressings come with the cream. Make a note of the time that you put the cream on. As soon as you've finished putting the cream on, wash your hands carefully with soap and water.
When you're about to have your procedure, take off the dressing and wipe off any excess cream with a tissue. You may not need to do this if the cream has soaked into your skin. Important Do not use the cream on your eyes, ears, nose or the inside of your mouth, or on your genitals or bottom anus — unless your doctor tells you to.
What if I forget to put it on? Do not apply extra cream, as this will not make the lidocaine work any faster. What if I apply too much? Non-urgent advice: Ask a doctor or nurse for advice if:. Common side effects These common side effects may happen in up to 1 in 10 people.
