EMLA works by temporarily blocking pain signals in the skin.

• Lidocaine and prilocaine penetrate the upper skin layers
• Nerve signal transmission is reduced
• The treated area becomes temporarily numb
• Pain and discomfort during procedures are minimized

The numbing effect is temporary and wears off gradually after use.
