• DO NOT CLEANSE THE SKIN prior to L.M.X.4 application (although you should not apply over moisturizers or other topical medications).
• L.M.X.4 works best when it mixes with the skin surface oils.
• Begin by rubbing a small amount of L.M.X.4 cream into each of the sites for ~ 30 seconds. Make sure you are wearing gloves.
• Follow this application with a thicker coating of L.M.X.4 cream. Cover cream with an occlusive dressing (ex. Tegaderm or round Band-aids).
• Although L.M.X.4 does not require the use of an occlusive dressing, one is recommended for use in children to ensure adequate contact of the cream with the skin and to prevent the accidental ingestion of the cream.
• Do NOT flatten the cream (L.M.X.4 works best when it is applied thickly).
• After the product is removed, the skin should be cleaned and prepared as usual for the procedure.

L.M.X.4 starts to work in ~ 30 minutes.

Total application time should usually not exceed 60 minutes (rubbing it in longer has not been shown to increase its effect).

It lasts approximately 60 minutes.
