How long does it take before it numbs skin? And how long will it last for?

It barely numbed my skin, so I didn't give it a good review. I have been using doctor prescribed 5% lidocain patches, but they don't stick to well to my feet. That is why I bought this cream hoping I could use it on my feet. It didn' really work for me.

It depends on individual, I use every 3days, still feel sensitive after every use, sometimes it lasts more than 8 hours. P

It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to effect. And then it's effect lasts for an hour.

You can leave the product on your skin for up to five minutes. But I would not recommend any longer than five minutes. You will run the risk of burning your skin.

It can last as long as two weeks. Soaking your feet each day will speed the process and shed even more dead skin.

Yes, not a long term fix. Once i put it on, the effects last for about 8 hrs.

Just because you do not feel it, trust me, it IS WORKING! Do NOT apply anymore because it WILL burn (experience). Your skin will start peeling in about 3-5 days

I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices. It helps in the morning, when I apply it to the sides and back of my heel (I have a heel spur poking into my Achilles tendon, and I'm anticipating surgery for that in January). It does seem to warm and relax those areas somewhat. But you don't use a conducting gel with it. I'm guessing that the terms for these retail devices are not applied as stringently as one would hope. I wish you good luck, if you decide to use it. From my own experience, I would say it's decent, though not outstanding, help for small areas. And it takes about 15 minutes to get an effect. So, I am an impatient person and don't always want to wait... Take care!

For me it only lasted about two days. But that's with any self tanner for me. I'm very lighted skinned and must have dry skin or something.

Im not sure what the official directions are but I stop using mine 3 to 4 days before waxing or tanning. I stop using any kind of chemical product for at least 5 days prior to a peel but I have fair skin that gets irritated easily. I have been able to use the perfect image low level peel without any problems after only halting the cleanser for 3 days.

I use this system and it tends to last about 4 weeks. That's with light use, twice daily. Be light handed with the serum though, a little goes a long way.

Since you need to use only a little, it will last for about 4 months. The serum is the only thing that seems to go faster.

It's perfect! I've been using it for 2 months i believe. I use it for the whoooole area. The first time, not gonna lie, will be a rather painful, but 100% worth it!. After that the hairs grow back here and there, alot thinner, and i hardly even feel it anymore. Now i'm always smooth and ready to go. ; )Recommendation, soak in a nice warm bubble bath first, and then use lotion right after. Also the redness/irritation from having your hair yanked out by its roots usually only lasts around 24 hours. After a few uses that also gets less noticable. Nothing nearly as bad as the horrible irritation i get from constantly shaving the area.Definitely buy this, i absolutely love it. Best one i've ever used! It's perfect!

Longer than you should keep it on your body. By mistake, I've kept it on me for 45 minutes and it's still chilling. I'd say about an hour - if it's enclosed in an ice pack wrap.

Sort of.... It isn't s very strong numbing cream. It only makes sensation go away on the upper !most layer of skin. It would help to reduce the pain but not numb it enough to make it completely painless

I would estimate about 7-10 days, depending on how much skin needs to be exfoliated..

Hi, my name is David. I've had mine for a while now and love it. They do say not to use it for longer than 15mins but after That "New Electric Motor" smell goes away, which is when it's broken in, you can use it for a longer period of time. I use mine for anywhere between 20-30mins at a time but I don't push it past that. Your muscle tissue will hurt the next couple of days if you use it too long. Drink plenty of water to flush your system out really good for 2-3 days after each use. I'm sure you know these tips.lol...Less pain is a good thing.lol...
