LMX4 Numbing Cream 30g: Things you need to know
What is LMX4 Numbing Cream 30g?
This cream is a local anaesthetic used for a variety of reasons. These include injections, having blood taken and/or having a cannula inserted. It may also be used for topic skin treatments that are uncomfortable and tattoos.
Some people use lidocaine cream like LMX4 to ease the pain when they’re getting a tattoo, especially tattoos covering a large area. Although lidocaine cream can be used for this reason, we’d recommend asking both your pharmacist and your tattoo artist before doing so. This will help you to be sure that this product is right for you and that you’ll apply the cream in a way that won’t affect the appearance of your tattoo.
