TOPICAL NUMBING APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

MSU Aesthetic & Laser Treatment Center’s topical numbing instructions are intended to help guide you through the application process.

  • Remove all jewelry.
  • Wear headband, gloves, and/or medical gown provided by MSU Aesthetic & Laser Treatment Center prior to application.
  • Wash skin with cleanser and remove all makeup.
  • Apply topical numbing to treatment area(s) with your gloved fingers.
    • If treating face, apply topical to your neck and collarbone as well.
  • Stay outside the orbital bone of your eye when applying. This will help avoid topical moving too close to eyes and eyelashes.
