Hey guys, thanks for all the helpful advice. I managed to apply the EMLA and leave it for about 45-ish minutes before my appointment, and had the treatment about 15 minutes after removing the cream. I have to say I definitely noticed a difference! It was more tolerable than the first time. The clinic don’t have a room that I can use to apply the cream and wait unfortunately, which makes it a bit awkward for me to continue with EMLA. But I’ll see if I can come up with a workable solution between now and my next appointment.
