Everything you need to know about MediCaine compound numbing products, ordering, and usage.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT
What is MediCaine compound numbing cream?+
MediCaine is a professional-grade compound numbing cream and ointment used by medical practices, dermatologists, and aesthetic providers. Our formulations include Pro (BLT), Elite (LT), and Ultra (BLT+). All products are compounded fresh per order in the USA and are available to licensed providers.
What are the three MediCaine tiers?+

MediCaine Pro (BLT): Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 10%, Tetracaine 10%, Phenylephrine 0.5%. Triple-agent formula. ~15 min onset, 2-4 hr duration. Available in cream or ointment.

MediCaine Elite (LT): Lidocaine 30%, Tetracaine 7%. High-concentration dual-agent. ~20 min onset, 1-3 hr duration. Available in cream or ointment.

MediCaine Ultra (BLT+): Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 10%, Tetracaine 10%, Prilocaine 8%, Phenylephrine 0.5%. Quad-agent maximum potency. ~15 min onset, 3-5 hr duration. Ointment only.

How fast does it work?+
15-25 minutes depending on formulation, compared to the 30-45 minute industry standard. Pro and Ultra onset in approximately 15 minutes. Elite in approximately 20 minutes.
How long does the numbing last?+
Duration varies by tier: Pro provides 2-4 hours, Elite provides 1-3 hours, and Ultra provides 3-5 hours of numbing. Duration also depends on thickness of application, use of occlusion, and the treatment area.
Which tier should I choose?+

Pro is ideal for most aesthetic procedures — Botox, fillers, laser treatments, microneedling, and tattoo work.

Elite is best when you want the highest Lidocaine concentration without Benzocaine — suited for patients with Benzocaine sensitivity.

Ultra is for deep or prolonged procedures requiring maximum numbing — surgical excisions, deep peels, extensive laser work.

FORM & PACKAGING
Cream vs ointment?+
Cream has a lighter texture with easy absorption — preferred for face and areas where a non-greasy feel is important. Ointment provides a thicker occlusive barrier with maximum skin contact — ideal for deeper numbing. Pro and Elite come in cream or ointment. Ultra is ointment only for maximum potency.
Airless pump vs jar?+
Airless pump delivers precise, consistent doses with hygienic no-contact dispensing and zero waste. The pump mechanism prevents contamination and oxidation. Jar provides traditional easy access with a wide opening for application. Both are available for all sizes.
What sizes are available?+
All MediCaine products are available in 6 sizes: 30g ($60), 50g ($80), 100g ($110), 150g ($160), 200g ($200), and 454g ($255-$270 depending on tier). Every size comes in airless pump or jar packaging.
ORDERING & PRESCRIPTIONS
Do I need to be a licensed provider?+
Yes. All MediCaine products are compound medications available exclusively to licensed healthcare providers. License verification is completed before fulfillment. Our license verification system uses the NPI Registry to verify providers in real-time.
How do I place an order?+
Use our product configurator to select your formulation, form, packaging, and size. Then complete the order form with your practice information, shipping address, and license details. You can also call us at (800) 555-1234 to speak to a pharmacist and place your order by phone.
What is auto-reorder?+
Auto-reorder automatically ships your order at a frequency you choose (every 30, 60, 90, or 120 days) and saves you 15% on every order. You can cancel or pause anytime with no obligation.
Where is MediCaine compounded?+
All MediCaine products are compounded fresh per order in a US-based 503A compounding pharmacy. Products are made in the USA and shipped directly to your practice.
What is the shelf life?+
As a compounded product made fresh per order, MediCaine typically has a 6-month beyond-use date from the date of compounding. Store in a cool, dry place. The airless pump packaging helps protect the product from oxidation and contamination.
USAGE & APPLICATION
How should I apply MediCaine?+
Apply a thick layer to the treatment area 15-25 minutes before the procedure. For enhanced effect, cover the area with an occlusive dressing (plastic wrap). Remove the numbing cream and clean the area before beginning the procedure. Follow your prescribing provider's specific instructions.
What procedures is MediCaine used for?+
MediCaine is used for a wide range of procedures including Botox and filler injections, laser treatments and IPL, microneedling and PRP, chemical peels, minor dermatological procedures, surgical excisions, tattoo work, and other aesthetic and medical procedures requiring topical numbing.
Can patients purchase MediCaine directly?+
No. MediCaine is a compound medication sold exclusively to licensed medical practices and healthcare providers. It is not available for direct consumer purchase.
