How It Works
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic agent that temporarily blocks nerve conduction, producing loss of sensation in the targeted area.
It works by:
1. Blocking Sodium Channels
Lidocaine prevents sodium ions from entering nerve cells, which stops the propagation of nerve impulses.
2. Preventing Pain Signal Transmission
By interrupting nerve activity, pain signals from the treated area cannot reach the brain.
3. Providing Rapid, Targeted Relief
Lidocaine’s fast onset offers quick comfort while its medium duration supports the typical length of aesthetic procedures.
This mechanism results in predictable, localised numbness without affecting surrounding tissue.
