Why Choose
Practitioners select Lidocaine 2% because it provides more intense local anaesthesia compared with lower-strength formulations, making it a reliable choice for procedures requiring stronger or deeper numbing.
Additional reasons include:
-
High efficacy with minimal volume required
-
Versatile application across advanced aesthetic treatments
-
Faster comfort response for patient reassurance
-
Consistent absorption and stable clinical performance
-
Ideal for clinics seeking to maintain high standards of patient care
Common Uses
Lidocaine 2% may be used in:
-
Dermal filler procedures requiring stronger anaesthesia
-
Pre-treatment numbing for cannula entry points
-
Advanced injectable techniques
-
Minor skin excisions or suturing
-
Mesotherapy and skin booster treatments
-
Procedures where enhanced comfort is clinically beneficial
Its higher concentration allows practitioners to achieve adequate numbness with smaller injection volumes, supporting precision treatments.
How It Works
Lidocaine 2% provides local anaesthesia by temporarily blocking nerve conduction in the targeted area.
It works through:
1. Sodium Channel Blockade
Lidocaine prevents sodium ions from entering nerve cells, stopping the generation and transmission of nerve impulses.
2. Interruption of Pain Signal Pathways
Pain signals from the affected area cannot reach the central nervous system during its action.
3. Rapid, Targeted Anaesthesia
The higher concentration allows for faster and deeper numbness, making it suitable for procedures requiring more robust analgesia.
The result is controlled, localised, and short-term loss of sensation without affecting mental alertness.
