Pain relief cream for hair removal

Epilation allows you to quickly and permanently get rid of unwanted vegetation on almost the entire body. A special anesthetic cream for hair removal will help protect yourself from unpleasant painful sensations during the procedure. This tool today can be found on sale both in specialized cosmetic departments and in some pharmacy chains.

Hair removal in any way implies not only high-quality hair removal for a long time, but also unpleasant painful sensations. On sale today there are a variety of means for anesthetizing the skin during this procedure. They are also suitable for depilation and are often used in sugaring. Some anesthetic creams are also used during mesotherapy or tattooing.

There are a lot of anesthetic agents, but the most popular are special creams designed to reduce pain during the procedure. They usually contain such a popular anesthetic as lidocaine or prilocaine. Some products also contain epinephrine. It is this substance that helps to avoid the occurrence of an allergic reaction, which is an important factor when choosing this product.

Another essential feature of such products, intended for a painless procedure, is the need to apply them to the skin a few hours before it starts. In this case, the agent has time to penetrate deeply into the epidermis and block all painful sensations. To enhance the effect or accelerate its onset, the anesthetic cream applied to the skin can be covered with cling film or an occlusive dressing on top.

Many manufacturers today release products designed to anesthetize the skin during shugaring, depilation and epilation. Therefore, before giving preference to a particular manufacturer, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules for choosing this product.

Going to buy such a cream, you need to accurately find out the presence of an allergic reaction to drugs such as lidocaine, novocaine, prilocaine and their other varieties. Most of the funds are made on their basis, therefore, if there are contraindications to the use of such a drug, you should choose an analogue of the selected cream with another main active ingredient.

Despite the possibility of universal use of this tool, it is still worth paying attention to the manufacturer's recommendations on which parts of the body it is intended for. So most often, all products are divided into creams designed to anesthetize the skin on the face and funds that help reduce pain during epilation of the body.

An important role in choosing a cream for pain relief is played by the time of its effect on the skin, and the duration of the effect of anesthesia. Some products in this category can reduce skin sensitivity in 15-30 minutes and keep the effect for a couple of hours. Other means give the desired result only after a few hours, but their effect lasts up to 4 hours.

And, of course, you should not buy products from unknown manufacturers, which are sold at a suspiciously low price. Such a cream is unlikely to be really of high quality and effective. Therefore, it is best to give preference to those products that are in high demand and have received approval from experts. Do not be shy and ask the seller for a quality certificate for the product you are purchasing. Despite the fact that these products are cosmetic, they are made on the basis of medical preparations, and therefore must be certified.

In order not to make a mistake with the choice and purchase a really high-quality and effective anesthetic cream, we advise you to pay attention to the following products:

1. Korean "J-cream" is ideal for women with any skin type. With it, epilation on the face and body will become absolutely painless. The composition contains an ultra-high concentration of lidocaine, due to which the effect of anesthesia occurs very quickly and lasts for a long time. The volume of the product is 500 g, and no more than 5 g is spent on one epilation procedure. The cream is indeed a powerful anesthetic and it is very economical in consumption.
2. "J-PRO cream" made in China mainly intended for skin anesthetization before cosmetic procedures such as facial tattooing, mesotherapy and bio-reinforcement. But it perfectly helps to eliminate any pain during epilation. It is able to quickly anesthetize the skin even in the most delicate hones, is economically consumed and does not cause irritation when it comes into contact with mucous membranes.
3. "Light dep" is a cream of domestic production. Its visible advantage over existing analogues is the presence in the composition of such an agent as epinephrine. This means that using this product, you will not need to worry about the possibility of an allergic reaction. In addition, the analgesic effect is manifested already twenty minutes after application.
4. "precaine" is one of the effective creams that have not only analgesic, but also a cooling effect. It has a gel texture, which provides a very economical consumption. The effect of its use appears already 25 minutes after application and lasts up to 2 hours.
5. "Cream SM Lidocaine" 9.6% is one of the most powerful pain relief creams. It differs from analogues not only in the high content of lidocaine in the composition and economical consumption, but also in the fact that it is very quickly absorbed into the epidermis.
6. Anesthetic "NS cream" is another development of domestic scientists. Its use allows you to quickly and permanently anesthetize the skin, not only before epilation, but also before other cosmetic procedures. A distinctive feature is the low cost compared to the above means.

All these products allow you to turn epilation into a painless and easy procedure. It is worth noting that creams from brands such as Dr.numb, Emla, Super Numb and Anesten are no less popular. All of them, like the products described above, are distinguished by a high and high-quality level of anesthesia, ease of use, long-term preservation of the effect and economical consumption.

Before proceeding to a detailed description of the basic rules for using this tool, I would like to say that that women who are breastfeeding or carrying a child are strictly prohibited from using any kind of anesthetic creams. The components that make up their composition can penetrate the placenta and breast milk and adversely affect the health of the baby.

Before starting the procedure, you should take a hot shower and use a body scrub.. This will help soften the skin and get rid of ingrown hairs, and in the future prevent their reappearance. At the end of the water procedures, dry the entire body with a towel. The anesthetic is allowed to be distributed only on absolutely dry areas of the body.

Anesthetic cream should be applied to those parts of the body where hair removal will be performed. The thickness of the layer depends on the type you choose. Some cream manufacturers recommend applying a very thick layer, and some, on the contrary, thin. Therefore, it is very important to read the instructions and do a sensitivity test before starting the procedure itself.

To enhance the effect of the cream on the skin and for the longest possible preservation of its effect, it is recommended, if possible, to apply a special occlusive bandage on top of the skin, that is, sealed. The easiest way to do it is from ordinary cling film. To do this, the areas of the body treated with cream are wrapped tightly with a film and left for a period of 15 minutes to 2 hours. The exact exposure time depends both on the selected cream and on the area to which it would be applied. For the bikini area and armpits, 15 minutes will be enough, and it may take two hours for the cream to act on the skin of the legs.

After this period, the bandage is removed and proceed directly to the epilation. There is no need to rinse or wash off the remaining cream before using the epilator.

It is possible to argue about which anesthetic cream is better from those described in this article ad infinitum. But if you pay attention to the reviews, you can see that the opinions of women still differ. However, most of them leave positive feedback about this product.

Beauticians also support such positive reviews about this product.. According to them, the appearance of creams with anesthetic for hair removal allows women, even with very sensitive skin, to get rid of unwanted body hair for a long time without any problems.

If we talk about negative reviews about this tool, then for the most part they relate to individual intolerance to a particular component. The disadvantages of these anesthetic creams, many women include their rather high cost. Although if we take into account their very economical consumption and good efficiency, then they fully justify their price.
