Practitioners reach for S-TE Cain Cream before needle and cannula work: it is a topical anaesthetic cream that lowers pain sensitivity at the site so that injection-based cosmetic procedures can go ahead more comfortably. It comes in a compact clinic tube and a large bulk tub.
The cream is used ahead of injection-based aesthetic work, including dermal fillers, botulinum toxin treatments, laser sessions and cannula procedures. The source material explains the reasoning: when the skin reacts to pain, vessels can narrow and pores can change, which makes it harder to insert a needle or cannula cleanly. Lowering sensitivity at the surface is intended to limit that reflex and to reduce the chance of bleeding, swelling and bruising linked to difficult insertion. For background on how surface numbing relates to local anaesthesia, see the linked overview.
Apply a layer of cream over the area to be treated and leave it in contact for the time given in the manufacturer's instructions, then remove it before starting the procedure. The cream is described as fast-acting, which helps keep appointment schedules on track. Some clinics apply numbing cream in stages; our article on layering technique covers that approach.
What sizes are available? 30g and 500g.
Which procedures is it used before? Needle- and cannula-based cosmetic treatments such as fillers, botulinum toxin and laser work.
Is it removed before treatment? Yes – it is taken off after the contact time and before the procedure begins.
