Hi Sasharee4,Our numbing cream is compounded through a compounding pharmacy and our patients do not feel a thing. I have not heard of an over the counter numbing cream that actually works. When you have your procedure done I am sure your provider will provide the numbing cream. Best, Dr Faraz

We get our numbing cream specially made for us via a compounding pharmacy. Numbing creams can be dangerous, some people can get lidocaine toxicity, etc. I would only go to a medical office to get micro needling done for the sake of safety and efficacy. We charge $199.99 and this includes the numbing, and my clients say it's worth it. For best results we recommend 3 treatments.
