Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a woman came in looking a bit anxious. She said, “I have a laser hair removal appointment next week, and I heard that BLT numbing cream can help with the pain. Can you tell me more about it?”
I smiled, glad to explain how BLT numbing cream works. “Absolutely! BLT stands for Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine—three powerful topical anesthetics that work together to provide numbing for the skin. It’s commonly
used before procedures like laser hair removal, tattoos, microneedling, and other treatments that might cause discomfort. By applying BLT cream to the area beforehand, you’ll experience less pain and sensitivity during the procedure.”
She looked relieved but wanted to know more. “How long does it last, and how should I apply it?”
“Typically, BLT cream starts working within 15-30 minutes after application and can provide numbing relief for up to 1-2 hours,” I explained. “For the best results, apply a thin layer to the treatment area and cover it with plastic wrap to help it absorb fully. Your provider might also apply it for you in the clinic if you’re unsure about application.”
She asked, “Is it safe to use? I’ve never used a numbing cream before.”
“Yes, BLT cream is safe when used as directed,” I reassured her. “However, it’s important not to use more than the recommended amount, as applying too much can lead to side effects like skin irritation or, in rare cases, dizziness. Avoid using it on broken or irritated skin, and always wash your hands thoroughly after applying it.”
We also discussed who might benefit from BLT cream. “If you’re someone with a lower pain tolerance or if the procedure involves a sensitive area, BLT cream can really help make the experience more comfortable.”
Before she left, I added, “And remember, if you need BLT cream, we offer free delivery at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy. We’re also targeting dermatology clinics and med spas, offering sample giveaways for those needing numbing creams for various procedures. If you know anyone interested, let them know about us!”
She smiled, feeling more confident about her upcoming appointment. “Thank you so much for explaining everything! I’ll definitely give it a try.”
Helping patients feel more comfortable about their procedures is one of the things I love most about my work. At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we’re committed to providing both guidance and practical solutions for managing pain and anxiety.
Until tomorrow,
