Does Biofreeze numb the skin, like for derma rolling or waxing?

It does not numb, it cools. I received little pain relief, and the odor is powerful.

It has menthol. I would not call it numbing, but it does feel like ice on your skin. All I know is it takes the pain away very well and both my husband and I use it for sore muscles, arthritis, etc. and we love it!

You can gently pop the applicator ball and its housing out by sliding a thin, flat blade under the housing, between it and the glass of the bottle top. Buying t his reusable applicator bottle has saved us a lot of money. I use it with Biofreeze for joint pain. Good luck!

I've only used this with the cold therapy. For heat, I use Beyond Bodyheat self-stick *pads* (going against the directions by attaching it directly to the skin).

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

Yes, it is similar to Icy Hot. But, I personally think BioFreeze lasts longer and has more "kick" as well as penetrating power. I started using it a few years ago as part of a physical therapy regimen after joint surgery. I tried Icy Hot and, while it worked, I felt I had a better experience overall with BioFreeze.

I have never used Icy Hot; therefore I don't know the answer to your question. I just know that my wife and I use Biofreeze because it helps relieve pain and have ordered it several times.

Sorry, have not tried that brand but maybe should. All I know is that there was absolutely no numbness like the creams aestheticians use. I used a 1ml micro needle and it was quite painful.

It should be. I used it down below and it was great. I didn't feel anything. They say to keep the area covered til u are ready to wax the area. Plus my friend got a tatoo using that and she said she felt nothing.

No. Following the directions exactly in the box froze off the concerned areas & sealed right away its so cold. Careful with your hands around the applicator tip as it is incredibly cold and can 'burn"

I am not sure about "therapy." What it does is make your hand warm and makes the skin soft. The warmth goes through your hand (or foot). I don't know if that will cure "numb and tingly" but it sure feels good.

I use it several minutes after waxing my bikini area. It stings briefly and I have highly sensitive skin. Within minutes the skin is calmed down and all is well. If you plan on working out after a wax I would wait, otherwise you're good to go. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle.

I don't know what a biopad is but I have bought a few of these. My husband uses it every morning because his back is so stiff. It, I know does penatrate with that deep heat, the feeling you get if you were to lay on warm concrete after getting out of a pool kind of. Bought a few for friends and family too. It is just heated Jade stones so don't see how it could possibly be unhealthy as they do massages with heated stones too

I am currently sitting here with my brand new ice pack wrapped around my knee and about 12" from my nose (knee is elevated to heart height in front of me). There is a very slight smell but given how I can wrap it on the diagonal around my knee to the area that's swollen the worst, that tiny bit is something I can definitely live with. It is -nowhere near- how much a pain-relieving salve would smell (such as arnica or bengay) and it's completely gone while the ice pack is freshly cold. If you noticed it much you could probably use it as an indicator of when to freeze it again! :D

I used this on my legs and perhaps I am sensitive as it hurt yet I did not freeze the area first. I passed onto my mom and she loves it though. I am not sure how it would feel on your face yet my mom said she had no hair for two weeks.

Yes, that works perfect. I used super cold water as the tca was stinging my skin and it felt good to cool it.
