  Patient information leaflet How It Works Lidocaine and prilocaine temporarily block nerve signals in the skin. When applied in a thick layer and covered with an occlusive dressing, they penetrate the upper layers of skin to reduce pain from needles and superficial procedures. You may still feel pressure or touch. FAQs How long does the numbing last? After removal, the numbing effect usually persists long enough to complete common needle or minor skin procedures. Can I reuse the same area soon after? Leave sufficient time between applications.
