I do not use numbing cream & this is a great explanation as to why. I was taught not to use it. My needling clients all say that it is not painful, just on occasion uncomfortable in certain areas.

Should you be using numbing cream before microneedling…
or 👎🏽❓

So lets discuss it 🤔

Personally… I don’t, never have, not on clients, family and myself

Not only is it restricted under my insurance and local council licensing rules, but I also think people underestimate how much numbing cream can interfere with the treatment itself.

Pain and discomfort are feedback.

If the skin is completely numbed, it becomes much easier to overwork areas without realising how aggressive the treatment actually feels on the skin.

Numbing cream can also temporarily constrict blood vessels and cause side effects such as redness, swelling, itching, tingling and irritation.

So combining that with microneedling can sometimes make the overall inflammation and healing response even more intense.

And honestly, some of the most overworked skins I’ve personally seen after microneedling have involved aggressive treatments combined with numbing cream — where the skin remained extremely red and reactive for days afterwards.

There’s also the legal and insurance side of things.

Many therapists are not medical prescribers, and if someone has an allergic reaction or complication to a topical anaesthetic, it can become a very serious situation very quickly.

That doesn’t mean nobody should ever use numbing cream.

But I do think it’s something that should be discussed far more realistically instead of automatically being seen as part of every microneedling treatment.
