Local Anaesthesia

Local anaesthesia is a medical technique that temporarily numbs a specific area of the body to prevent pain during procedures. It works by blocking the nerves' ability to send pain signals to the brain, allowing a patient to remain awake and comfortable. The anaesthetic is usually applied as a injection, cream, or gel directly on the targeted area. It is commonly used for minor surgeries, dental work, or skin procedures. Once the effect wears off, sensation gradually returns. Local anaesthesia is safe when administered by trained professionals and minimizes overall discomfort and recovery time.
