Now that Thanksgiving is over and Channukah and Christmas are here, accidents will happen. Between getting pricked by hanging an ornament or getting burned by a candle, there’s one thing you will need and that’s Dr. Numb, a new Canadian product that is here to save the day.
Dr. Numb has three different products they recently sent me for review — Dr. Numb 5% Lidocaine Cream, Dr. Numb 4% Lidocaine Foam Soap and Dr. Numb’s 4% topical anesthetic cream.
You can use these products on cuts, bruises, burns and more. They are also recommended using before or after waxing, tattoos and/or sunburns. Dr. Numb actually numbs the area so that you can heal quickly without the discomfort of pain.
According to the website:
“Topical lidocaine preparation produces anesthesia by inhibiting/ blocking conduction in the peripheral nerves to prevent pain signal propagation. The following takes place after applying Dr. Numb®:”
? 15 – 20 minutes: The onset of numbness begins at this point and is starting to spread out in the target area.
? 45 – 60 minutes: The numbness has infiltrated the entire target area. The loss of sensation in the superficial layer prevents any feeling of pain or discomfort.
? 60 – 90 minutes: The peak of numbing effect. Any pain, itch or discomfort should not be felt because the efficacy is at its highest.
? 90 – 120 minutes: The duration of maximum numbing effect is approximately sustained up to this point.
? 120 – 180 minutes: The numbing effect will gradually diminish. Re-application is highly recommended for another extended period of time.
I made the mistake of using the product on muscle soreness. It does not work for that. However, according to the materials, it does work on bruises and abrasions.
