Overview
Starcain Plus Cream is the dual-anaesthetic variant in the Starcain line, combining lidocaine 2.5% with prilocaine 2.5%. The prilocaine addition is intended to deepen and prolong anaesthesia relative to the single-agent 10.56% lidocaine Starcain cream. Manufactured by Starpharmtec and supplied in bulk format for professional use.
How it works
Lidocaine and prilocaine are amide-type anaesthetics that reversibly block voltage-gated sodium channels in cutaneous nerve endings. Combined in roughly equal parts they form a eutectic mixture that penetrates intact skin more readily under occlusion, with the two agents together extending the depth and duration of the numbing effect through the epidermis and superficial dermis.
Indications
- Pre-injection anaesthesia for fillers and neuromodulators
- Microneedling and fractional needling procedures
- Laser hair removal and laser skin treatments
- Tattoo and permanent make-up application
- Superficial chemical peels and minor dermatological procedures
Key features
- Dual-caine 2.5% lidocaine + 2.5% prilocaine (5% total)
- Eutectic-type formulation for enhanced penetration
- Prilocaine extends anaesthetic depth and duration
- Manufactured by Starpharmtec within the Starcain line
- Bulk professional pack format
Benefits
- Longer-lasting numbing supports extended or deeper procedures
- Complements single-agent Starcain for a tiered anaesthetic range
- Broadens patient-comfort coverage across procedure types
- Direct-from-manufacturer line eases clinic procurement
- Balanced dual-active profile aids patient tolerance
Composition
Lidocaine 2.5% (25 mg/g) and prilocaine 2.5% (25 mg/g), a combined 5% dual-caine eutectic-type cream.
Usage & handling
Apply a thick layer to intact skin and occlude for the manufacturer-stated contact time, allowing longer than for single-agent lidocaine for the eutectic to establish. Respect maximum surface area and contact time to limit systemic absorption of both actives, and take care in patients at risk of methaemoglobinaemia because of the prilocaine content. Remove completely before energy-based procedures; avoid broken or inflamed skin; professional use only.
