Summary
Lasers are used for non-ablative resurfacing of facial rhytides, atrophic scars, and a
variety of epidermal and dermal lesions. Pain associated with the non-ablative laser
treatment has been described as moderate to severe. For this reason, local anesthesia is
commonly used to eliminate or minimize the pain. S-Caine™ Peel (lidocaine 7% and tetracaine
7% cream) is a eutectic formulation of lidocaine and tetracaine. The purpose of this study is
to evaluate if S-Caine Peel is effective in providing topical local dermal anesthesia for
non-ablative facial laser resurfacing in adults.
