How to Use Emla Cream
Using Emla Cream is simple and straightforward. Begin by cleaning and drying the application area for optimal absorption. Next, apply the recommended dosage evenly to the skin and cover it with the included dressing, as this helps lock in the cream and enhance efficacy. Leave it on for the advised duration, typically between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the procedure. Afterward, simply wipe off the cream and proceed with your activity. Remember to follow the instructions provided on the packaging or consult your healthcare provider for best results.
