I just received my prescription for the LMX 4% Plus Kit to use before my laser hair removal sessions. I've heard that it helps numb the area and makes the procedure more bearable, but I'm a bit worried about the side effects. The list is pretty daunting, especially the urgent side effects. Has anyone here used this and had any issues? I want to be prepared and know what to expect. Also, any tips on application would be greatly appreciated!

Remember, side effects can be rare, but it's always good to be prepared. Keep a close eye on any changes in your skin or how you feel.

I've used it a few times and never had any problems. Just make sure you read the instructions carefully and don't overdo it.

I'm curious, what made you choose laser hair removal over other methods? I've been thinking about it but am not sure which route to go.

I hope you don't experience any side effects, but if you do, don't wait to seek medical help. Better safe than sorry.

I had a friend who had a bad reaction to lidocaine. She got hives and had trouble breathing. It was scary. You should definitely be aware of any allergic reactions.

I had no idea about the methemoglobinemia risk. That's pretty serious. Make sure to watch for any weird discoloration or breathing issues.

Be careful with the amount you apply. I put on too much the first time and it made me feel really dizzy.
