Is there a numbing cream without epinephrine?

Question

I am having microblading done on my eyebrows and need a numbing cream that does not make my heart race and give me palpitations and make me shake like crazy. Do you have any suggestions.

Patricia Faraz, MD · Answer

Yes, there are alternatives to epinephrine. I would discuss with your provider before your scheduled visit. Best to you,

Alain Michon, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. There are many different types of  numbing creams or gel available that contains only one or a combination of anesthetic agents without the epinephrine. I suggest discussing your adverse reactions from previous topical anesthetic use  with your physician or a pharmacist. I hope this help. Good luck,

In my practice we use a topical BLT. Benzocain, lidocain, tetracaine cream. We allow the patient to sit for about 35-45 minutes to numb. During this time they read or play on their phones. This doesn't always take away the full sensation of the treatment but it does help.
