NUMBING CREAM FOR BOTOX & INJECTABLE TREATMENTS

Compound BLT for injection comfort before Botox, Dysport, and injectable treatments. Reliable surface numbing that does not distort tissue like infiltrated local. Approximately 15-minute onset, 2 to 4 hours of working time. For licensed providers.

WHY BLT FOR INJECTIONS

MATCH THE FORMULA TO THE TREATMENT

A topical anesthetic numbs the surface for the needle stick without adding volume or distorting tissue. Pick the tier that matches your injectable workflow.

PROTOCOL

INJECTABLE APPLICATION

  1. 1

    CLEANSE THE TREATMENT ZONE

    Cleanse the area and confirm skin is intact. Follow your own provider protocol for consent, documentation, and injection planning.

  2. 2

    APPLY A THIN LAYER

    Apply a thin, even layer across the injection zone including margins, per protocol. Use the smallest effective amount and stay within labeled dose limits.

  3. 3

    WAIT ABOUT 15 TO 30 MINUTES

    Onset is around 15 minutes on thin facial skin. Allow up to 30 minutes for thicker areas. Working time is 2 to 4 hours depending on tier.

  4. 4

    REMOVE AND PREP

    Wipe the cream off completely, then perform skin antisepsis. Injection sites must be clean and prepped before the needle is introduced.

  5. 5

    INJECT PER TECHNIQUE

    Because topical anesthetic adds no volume, tissue landmarks stay undistorted for precise placement. Proceed with your standard injection technique.

FAQ

BOTOX NUMBING QUESTIONS

What is the best numbing cream for Botox and injectables?+
Compound BLT (Benzocaine 20% + Lidocaine 10% + Tetracaine 10%) is the standard pre-injection topical for Botox, Dysport, and most injectables. Onset is ~15 minutes with 2 to 4 hours of working time. For benzocaine sensitivity, MediCaine Elite is benzocaine-free. All tiers are restricted to licensed providers and dispensed after NPI verification.
How long before injectables should numbing cream be applied?+
Apply a thin layer 15 to 30 minutes before injecting, per protocol. On thin facial skin, onset is around 15 minutes. Remove the cream completely and perform skin antisepsis before injecting — the sites must be clean and prepped.
Does numbing cream affect Botox or Dysport results?+
Topical BLT is applied to the skin surface and removed before injection, so it does not dilute or displace neuromodulator product the way injected local with volume can. Many injectors prefer a topical for tox work for this reason. Follow your protocol for timing, antisepsis, and technique.
Can the same numbing cream be used for filler injections?+
Yes. Compound BLT is used ahead of dermal filler as well as neuromodulators. For lip and perioral filler, see our lip filler guide. For multi-area or longer sessions, some injectors step up to Ultra for extended working time.
