Emla Cream UK contains two active substances called lidocaine and prilocaine. These belong to a group of medicines called local anaesthetics. Emla Cream works by numbing the surface of the skin for a short time. It is put on the skin before certain medical procedures. This helps to stop pain on the skin; however, you may still have the feelings of pressure and touch. In adults, adolescents and children, Emla Cream UK can be used to numb the skin before:- Have a needle put in (e.g., having an injection or a blood test)
- Minor skin operations

How Long Does Emla Cream Last?
A common question we often see online regarding this product is “How long does Emla Cream last?” Emla Cream needs to be applied about an hour in advance of the procedure to allow its numbing effect to work. If using Emla on your face, numbing may occur more quickly. After Emla Cream is removed, numbing usually lasts for at least 2 hours (this time may be shorter if using Emla on the face). Keep the amount of time Emla lasts in mind if you are planning a large/intricate tattoo or have a longer tattoo appointment.
