Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream, 2-Pack Pain Relief Burn Itch Numb Cream, Maximum Strength Topical Anesthetic with Allantoin, Vitamin E for Local and Anorectal Uses, Hemorrhoid Treatment

I don't know if it was the cream or the method I read from a review on the reviews for it but using this for my laser tattoo removal was an absolute game changer. I was 5 sessions in on removing two big tattoos, one on my arm another going down my spine and the pain from these sessions was getting unbearable, since they increase the energy of the laser every treatment, which increases the time of the session as the laser diameter gets smaller with every bump up in energy. The pain is just horrible, 20x's worse than getting the tattoo and that was with using another numbing cream, which I won't name because I really think it was the process that helped. I honestly didn't know if I would be able to complete the sessions, I'm only about half way through, that's how bad it was.I read Angie's review from this review board and followed this method... 2 hours before the appointment I took a shower, shaving and cleaning the area, ending the shower with about 3-5 minutes of the hottest water I could bare directly on the tattoo to open up the pores. Then I got out dried the area well, lathered on a thick layer of this cream and wrapped it with plastic wrap for about an hour... Then an hour before the appointment I put a heating pad on the wrapped area for about 3-5 minutes, then removed the plastic wrap, reapplied another layer of the numbing cream and wrapped it again and left it wrapped until the appointment.I also took 800mg of ibuprofen and while having the session done I listened to music with noise cancelling headphones. From sessions 5 to 6 there is a significant jump in the energy level of the laser, but I barely felt a thing, didn't have to take any breaks and was not squirming or groaning in the chair like I have been every other session. My laser tech was shocked at how well I did and asked about the procedure, and cream, to let all of her other customers know about it. Thank you Angie who posted her process before me and I hope others read this who are getting tattoo removal done and can put it to use. Good luck!

Great product. I'm getting a full backpiece done and it has helped tremendously. I had line work and some shading & color done without anything, and while it wasn't bad I knew I wanted something to take the edge off. I ordered this as it was suggested to me and it definitely works. My last session took a couple trys to get the stencil correct on one side and there was a big difference in numbness between the sides. My daughter also got a chest tattoo recently and she didn't think it would make much of a difference. I convinced her to use some and when she was done she told me how glad she was to have used it and she could tell a difference when it was wearing off. The trick is to put a good amount on the area 1 to 1.5 hrs before the session and wrap it with cling wrap. Let your tattoo artist know you used it, and always pay attention to your body & it's response to pain levels.

Did my back tattoo line work last night , applied the creme & put plastic wrap on around it for bout 15 mins & then it stayed numb for like 4 + hours. Works really well barely felt my back tattoo.

Aigh so if you wondering does this work and is it real, yes it works it technically did what it was supposed to do. But the catch is that the longevity isn’t the longest it doesn’t work for more than an at least 45-hour for a tattoo I was a little scrunched on time so maybe I didn’t get to experience full effects but it only lasted partly through the outline but I also didn’t put lots of lots on I only put a few handfuls but if your wanting to fully nullify all of it your gonna have to use the whole bottle because they’re kinda small. Here are the steps to properly get the effects-You really have to prep your skin before you put it on. By running it under hot water, shaving it with soapy water and really opening up the pores. Dab it dry with a towel and load that numbing cream on super thick and do not rub it in. Rap it as tight as you can with plastic wrap ninety minutes before your tattoo. Then thirty minutes before your tattoo.Unwrap it put more numbing cream on and re.Wrap.If you were looking for a real review there you go!!!

Am a former Dialysis patient who has to get needles in their arm three times a week and it is painful if I put this on about a half hour before I go to dialysis I don’t feel a thing during my whole treatment. This is perfect. I know insurance doesn’t cover it but it’s worth every penny ent. Doctor gave me an Emla cream and it did not work nearly as well.

So so

Everyone has a different pain tolerance, hard to review something like this.

Works well for pain
