The semi-liquid cream absorbs quickly, and only a thin layer is needed. It is simple to use without special training or complicated protocols.

- Dermal filler and toxin injections
- Laser resurfacing and hair removal
- Thread lifting and skin needling

How do you apply J Caine?
Apply the cream generously to the area and seal it with plastic wrap or an occlusive dressing. After 20 to 30 minutes, remove the wrap and wipe off the rest with a clean cloth.
Numbing begins within about 15 minutes and lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The listed dose is 0.25 to 0.66 g (23 to 62 mg of lidocaine) per application. Do not use more than 2 g (184 mg of lidocaine) in 24 hours. For professional use.
