Best Skin Numbing for Laser Hair Removal Mechanism of Action (How it works)

This topical anesthetic cream contains the active ingredient lidocaine hydrochloride (previously known as lignocaine hydrochloride in the UK).

Lidocaine is a type of medicine called a local anesthetic. It is used to numb areas that would otherwise feel pain.

Pain is caused by the stimulation of pain receptors at the ends of nerves. The stimulation causes sodium to enter the nerve ending, which causes an electrical signal to build up in the nerve. When this electrical signal is big enough, it passes along the nerve to the brain, where the signal is interpreted as pain.

Lidocaine works by temporarily blocking this pathway of pain signals along nerves. It does this by stopping the sodium entering the nerve ending at the site of the pain. This prevents an electrical signal building up and passing along the nerve fibers to the brain.

When an anesthetic (or numbing) cream is applied to the skin, some portion of the active ingredient enters where the nerves are located. The BEST skin numbing for laser hair removal cream contains the drivers necessary for the active ingredient to penetrate and do its job.
