Are there alternatives to lidocaine cream that can be used for IPL?

Thank you for your question. If you have any skin sensitivities, it will be hard to get the area numbed to prevent pain. Photofacials are usually tolerated without any topical anesthetic. This depends on how high the settings are. The other option would be a vibratory device that can be heard on your skin to help “trick your brain” and this I find works well with patients.
