Epilation of upper lip hirsutism with a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine used as a topical anesthetic - 06/10/17
Résumé |
Twenty-one patients were included in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study with a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine (EMLA). EMLA or placebo was placed on the upper lip for 1 hour; diathermy was then performed for 10 minutes. The pain caused by diathermy was evaluated by the patients and the cosmetologist on a four-point scale. The results of the investigation showed that there was significantly less pain after application of 5 gm of EMLA cream on the upper lip than after application of placebo, assessed both by the patient and by the cosmetologist. Eighteen of 20 patients preferred EMLA (p < 0.0001). Local reactions were few and mild.
