A member asked:
Is it possible for emla (lidocaine and prilocaine) cream to work for laser hair removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not efficient: To be effective, EMLA (lidocaine and prilocaine) should remain in contact with the skin under an occlusive dressing for at least one hour. Use local anesthetic (e.g. Lidocaine, Mepivacaine, Septocaine) for local infiltration. Talk to your health provider for side effects and allergies. Good luck.
