Our Emla collection has topical anesthetic creams that ensure pain relief during minor skin surgeries, vaccinations, injections, etc. These creams have medicines called local anaesthetics that reduce the pain by numbing the area. Emla creams work quickly within 30 minutes and are also very easy to apply.
Emla is a reputable and trusted brand and is in the good books of both doctors and users. Buy from this collection if you need an easy-to-apply and easy-to-remove cream for pain relief during medical/ surgical procedures. These creams are sensitive products and you should store EMLA cream away from the reach of children & consult a dermatologist in case of unexpected signs such as skin rash.
What is Emla?
Emla is a topical anesthetic cream, effective to numb the skin before any cosmetic/ medical procedures. It has active substances called lidocaine and prilocaine that together reduce pain and discomfort due to their local anesthetic action. We trust Emla due to its pain-free and smooth experience for children and adults. It is also a complementary therapy to treat epilepsy. So, you can purchase these creams from us with 100% confidence.
Active ingredients in these creams have research backing. For example, a review published by the Journal of Personalised Medicine in 2023 reported that lidocaine ensures a safe & comfortable experience for patients in the perioperative period.
What is Emla for?
Emla creams are equally usable for both children and adults. These creams numb the skin before minor procedures, laser treatments, and injections, as well as treat infections and tattoos. Active ingredients in these creams numb the local nerves that cause pain and thus make cosmetic and medical procedures more stress-free and comfortable. These creams should be removed from treated skin after use.
We also have other medicines for quick and effective pain relief. Visit us to learn about our 'Best Deep Freeze Sprays in 2025 for Pain Relief'. Likewise, visit our collection of Body Lotions & Moisturisers to moisturise the skin after treatment.
