Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Topical Numbing Cream for Painkilling, 2 Pack 2.7oz Max Strength Pain Relief Cream Ointment Anesthetic Gel with Liposomal for Sections, Hemorrhoid, Local and Anorectal Discomfort

Was not effective.. within less than an hour the effect was gone.. had to endure another 3 hours of getting inked in much pain.. there are other options of up to 40% lidocaine, which I was not aware of and may have been better.. Will be trying that for next session..

good

It helped quite a bit for laser tattoo removal! I recommend this easy to use cream. I apply a generous layer of this 5% lidocaine cream and wrapping it with plastic wrap an hour to two hours before my appointment made a massive difference. I think it's more effective applying it this way. The zaps wasn't as bad but still noticeable, and I was able to breeze through my sessions without taking any breaks. I didn't have any side effects from using this cream. I bought two because the price was great and I need enough to last for all of my treatments. Will buy again if needed.

Worked fabulously for numbing my tattoo! I applied it heavily about an hour 15 before my appointment and wrapped it in plastic wrap, didn’t feel a thing. And this was done on my shin/top of my foot. Apparently that area hurts real bad but…I wouldn’t know😁 Def worth the purchase!

I was getting a chest tattoo, which I was told was the most painful thing to get (especially over the boney center of your chest). I wasn't sure I could stand the pain. My Tattoo artist suggested this Numbing Cream. She said to put it on 1 hour before the tattoo session and wrap the area with Plastic wrap. I did and WOW!!! For about 2 hours the Tattoo needles were nearly painless (even over the center chest breast bone). Will use this again, without hesitation, if I get another tattoo!

Perfect for tattoos! Make sure you use a thick layer of it and wrap it in cling wrap 45-60 minutes before your appointment.

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!
