This topical formulation is designed to mitigate discomfort and pain sensations when applied to the skin. It typically contains active ingredients that temporarily block nerve signals in the applied area, resulting in a localized loss of sensation. For example, this type of cream might be used before a cosmetic procedure to reduce pain experienced during the process.
The value of such products lies in their ability to enhance patient comfort during various procedures. Their benefits include increased tolerance for treatments that might otherwise be too painful to endure without intervention. Historically, the development of these creams has progressed from single-ingredient formulations to more complex blends designed for enhanced efficacy and duration of action. They provide a non-invasive alternative to more systemic pain management options.
