Earlier, ice was used as a numbing cream agent for skin. But using ice constricts the blood vessels when it comes in contact and longer contacts lead to decreased blood flow. Moreover, ice will be effective only if it is applied directly for a long time. Someone has to apply ice for long periods of time to reduce the chances of pain during the piercing. Holding it in one spot can lead to melting of ice, wetting of the skin area and finally a messy situation that can lead to accidents.
All this mess can be avoided with Dr Numb cream. It is easy to apply and gives faster and long lasting results. It fits into the professional setting and makes it easy for the artist and the client to use it.

How Dr Numb Works?

4. Choose soaps carefully 

Bathing with hard soap that contains irritating ingredients can cause skin inflammation and may lead to eczema. Hard soaps also take away natural oils from the skin; therefore it’s good to bath using a mild, anti-scabies soap. 

Dr Scabies soap contains Sulfur and natural oil extracts that can help to alleviate the itch.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not use tea tree oil without doctor’s consultations. For people with sensitive skin, tea tree oil can be irritating.

Introduction 

The injectable treatments don’t employ use of any anesthesia, cutting of the skin and even take very less time to settle into the skin. Therefore, they are much safe as compared to other treatments such as facelift or brow lift surgery.

Safety Checklist

The popularity of injectables has seen an upsurge in the last few years and more and more people are now adopting for it. But when something gets too popular then it invites a lot of malpractices and misuse of the techniques also.

Therefore, it’s advisable for everyone to follow some safety rules in order to avoid any negative side-effects. 

·         Check if your doctor is board-certified

Don’t be hesitant in asking about the qualifications of your doctor .Make sure you get yourself treated from a board-certified doctor, dentist, pharmacist or nurse. You can even read testimonials and check for references of the doctor.

·        

          Don’t go by the Titles 

We often get attracted to titles like "Advanced Aesthetic Practitioner/Therapist" but they can even be bogus as well. Therefore, check for the qualifications to make sure the title they are using for their clinic actually applies to them or not.

·         Check if your doctor is trained

Every doctor needs an expert training before they can give the injectable cosmetic treatments. The training includes variety of things like dealing with adverse conditions such as severe allergic reactions.

·         Hygiene is an important issue 

A good doctor will always have a hygienic and safe environment for Botox and dermal fillers. This helps to prevent infection or any damage to skin which can be permanent.

Such treatments cannot be carried out in a home or a salon. They need proper setting clinical environment and facilities.

What if you experience some uneasiness post the procedure?

The first and the last thing would be to seek medical help. Although there are very little chances of side-effects after the treatment provided you have got it done from a well-experienced and trained practitioner but still if you feel some problem you should check with the doctor.

Sometimes people experience symptoms, such as a rash, fever, swelling or elevating pain but that is very rarely seen. In case of such a situation you should visit your GP for further treatment. You can also check with the doctor who treated you for better advice and speedy recovery.
