Numbing Creams and Gels

One of the ways Dr. Carter and our experienced team minimize discomfort during our procedures is by using numbing creams and gels. These topical treatments can be applied to specific areas of your face or body, and they will reduce any sensations of pain. We frequently use these numbing creams and gels in our cosmetic dermatology services, such as Vivace® microneedling.

Cooling Devices

For certain procedures like laser treatments, we also use advanced cooling devices to protect your skin and make sure you remain comfortable the entire time you are at our dermatology clinic in Frisco. These cooling devices help to counteract the heat felt on your skin, resulting in an effective skin care treatment that is virtually painless.

Injectable Medications

Additionally, we may sometimes take advantage of injectable medications to reduce pain during various medical dermatology procedures, including biopsies or mole removals. The medications we use have been thoroughly tested and approved for use in these types of treatments, so you can rest assured that they will help make the procedure as pain-free as possible.
