— About this product

Emla Cream 5% is a trusted topical anesthetic designed to temporarily numb the skin and reduce pain before medical and cosmetic procedures. It contains a combination of lidocaine and prilocaine, two powerful local anesthetics that work together to block nerve signals in the skin. This cream is commonly used before injections, vaccinations, blood tests, laser treatments, and minor skin procedures, making it ideal for both clinical and at-home use (as advised by a healthcare professional). How It WorksEmla Cream penetrates the skin to numb the targeted area. For best results, it should be applied in a thick layer and covered with an airtight (occlusive) dressing. The numbing effect typically begins after 30–60 minutes and can last for up to 2 hours.
