        Why Clinics Use High-Strength Lidocaine

       Benefits of 10.56% creams:

       • Stronger than standard 4–5% lidocaine creams

       • Faster and deeper numbing

       • Long-lasting effect

         Active Ingredient & Mechanism

         Lidocaine (10.56%)

         • Local anesthetic belonging to the amide anesthetic group

         • Blocks sodium channels in nerve endings

         • Stops pain signals traveling to the brain

         This temporarily numbs the skin in the treatment area.
