The answer is a definite NO. Most over the counter numbing creams are effective for 2 hours or less. Additional use of the cream will not prolong the numbing effect. In fact, the procedure may be overall more painful in the end. For the most effective numbing experience, gently exfoliate your brow area or lips the night before the procedure. By removing layers of dead or dry skin cells on the treatment area, it will allow the numbing ingredient to penetrate your skin. Jee Kim Pretty Please Studio, San Ramon, CA
