How to work around epinephrine sensitivity for topical procedures?

infoseeker09
I take medication for tachycardia. So, I cannot have numbing creams, etc. used during cosmetic procedures, that contain epinephrine or, that would otherwise have the potential to raise my heartrate. Given that, is there a way for me to have procedures like laser resurfacing or laser eye(skin) procedures?
