Why BLT for Lip Filler & Injectables
Deep Comfort for the
Sensitive Perioral Area
The lips and perioral area are among the most sensitive regions you treat — injectable comfort has to run deep. Always Numb™ is a compounded triple-anesthetic BLT: Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 10%, and Tetracaine 10%. Benzocaine establishes fast surface numbing, lidocaine builds a reliable anesthetic core, and tetracaine reaches deeper and lasts — a balanced profile made to help keep patients comfortable through lip filler and injectable treatments.
Fast ~15-Minute Onset
Benzocaine drives a fast surface onset while lidocaine and tetracaine build underneath — reaching working depth in about 15 minutes so your injectable appointments stay on schedule.
Deep Perioral Numbing
Tetracaine reaches beneath the surface for deep, clinical-strength numbness where the lips and perioral area need it most — beyond what surface-only creams reach.
2–4 Hour Duration
Numbness lasting roughly 2 to 4 hours provides comfortable coverage through lip filler, multi-syringe sessions, and combined injectable treatments.

Application Guidance
How Providers Apply It
Before Injectables
General guidance for licensed providers — always defer to your own clinical protocol and the manufacturer's directions for use.
01
Prep
Cleanse and dry the perioral area. Apply an even layer of Always Numb™ to the region you'll be treating, per your protocol.
02
Wait ~15–20 min
Allow roughly 15 to 20 minutes for the BLT compound to reach working depth before you begin injecting.
03
Remove
Fully remove the cream and prep the skin before treatment, following your standard injectable protocol.
04
Treat
Inject with a calmer, more comfortable patient. Numbness lasting 2–4 hours covers longer and combined injectable sessions.
The Difference
Why Compounded BLT Beats Drugstore Lidocaine
Off-the-shelf lidocaine is shallow and short-acting. A true triple-anesthetic BLT is compounded fresh per order for the depth the sensitive perioral area needs.

Questions
Lip Filler Numbing FAQ
How long before lip filler should numbing cream be applied?
As a general guide, licensed providers apply Always Numb™ to the clean, dry perioral area roughly 15 to 20 minutes before treatment, then remove it before injecting. Always follow your own clinical protocol and manufacturer guidance for timing and application.
Is BLT good for the sensitive lip and perioral area?
The perioral area is highly sensitive, which is why many providers choose a deeper-acting topical. Always Numb™ is a compounded triple-anesthetic BLT — Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 10%, Tetracaine 10% — formulated for deep numbing with a fast ~15-minute onset and 2–4 hour duration to help keep patients comfortable through lip filler and other injectables.
Can it be used for other injectables besides lip filler?
Yes. Licensed providers use Always Numb™ ahead of a range of injectable treatments, including dermal fillers and other injections where deep topical numbing is indicated. Application and suitability are always at the provider's clinical discretion.
How do providers order Always Numb for injectables?
Always Numb™ is a compounded, prescription-strength product for licensed providers — it is not sold retail to patients. It is compounded fresh per order by our 503A partner pharmacy. Call (310) 889-0733 and our team will set up your provider account and confirm your formulation.
