For numbing skin Contains up to two applications For numbing small areas of skin (e.g. for vaccinations or blood tests) Includes two dressings Make sure you plan ahead before you use Emla – the cream takes a while to achieve its numbing effect. Put it on about 1 hour before your procedure. Exact timings may vary depending on your age and the type of procedure. Make sure you check the patient information leaflet for details. After applying Don’t rub in the cream; you need a thick layer for Emla’s numbing effect. Cover with an air-tight, water-tight dressing. When it’s time for your procedure, you or your practitioner can remove the dressing and wipe off the cream. There are a range of packs available depending on what you wish to use Emla numbing cream for. Emla should be applied and covered with a suitable dressing about an hour before a procedure (30-60 mins when applying to the face) so that the cream is absorbed into the skin and not accidentally wiped off. Some packs have the right dressings included in them; others only contain a tube of cream.
