We use a compounded 30% numbing cream that makes all our procedures painless. I always combine microneedling with prp and lasers to get best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hello and thank you for your question.We use a prescription strength topical numbing cream that is compounded for our practice which is a combination of Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine. The patient numbs 30 minutes before the microneedling treatment begins. This allows the patient to remain comfortable throughout the entire microneedling treatment. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is recommended with all microneedling treatments to speed up the healing process and to achieve optimal results.Best to you,
Hello and thank you for your question!In our office, we use a topical numbing cream that we have compounded which consists of Benzocaine (20%), Lidocaine (6%), and Tetracaine (4%). We apply this topical numbing cream for 30-45 minutes prior to the treatment. With this topical numbing cream, patients are comfortable throughout the microneedling treatment. We also use this for our ResurFX, CO2 laser and dermal filler treatments as well.
Good afternoon and thank you for your question! There are different variations of numbing cream that can be compounded for different procedures. For microneedling we use a compounded BLT (benzocaine/lidocaine/tetracaine) cream in a 20% / 8% / 4% ratio respectively. It makes the patient feel much more comfortable during treatments like microneedling and laser. Best of luck! For more information, please feel free to visit our website!
We used 7% Lidocaine 7% Tetracaine ointment in office and this seems to work well for microneedling.

Microneedling on a low speed and needle depth would be a helpful treatment to address skin texture and fine lines and wrinkle around the eyes. I would not encourage anything to do be done to the eyelid or skin directly over the eye ball. The skin under the eye, out in the "crows"...
Hello kwall1015, It is not common to be burning after day 3 of your microneedling treatment. I would recommend following up with your provider to determine their post care instructions and when to return to your daily skin care regimen. We strongly recommend adding PRP to all...

Hello, and thank you for sharing your question. While there’s no real downtime after microneedling with PRP, your skin will likely be red and a bit swollen or bruised directly after your appointment, so it’s best to avoid very strenuous physical activity for around 24 hours. However, check wit...
