Does Lidocaine reduce effectiveness of PRP?

Asked By:Alicia77 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I have read that it does but I have been told by a surgeon and registered nurse that it doesn't. They may have been referring to a lesser numbing agent that Lidocaine. The procedure is very painful and I have a high tolerance to pain. Will sing Lidocaine reduce the effectiveness? Also hat is best way to remove it before procedure? Should I just use rubbing alcohol and get the most out that I can?
