A local anaesthetic is a type of drug that is used to numb a specific part of the body. These drugs can be used to treat painful disorders, prevent pain during procedures or operations, and relieve pain following surgery. Local anesthetics, unlike general anesthetics, do not cause you to lose consciousness. This means they're generally safer, don't usually require any specific preparation before usage, and allow you to recuperate faster. Local anaesthetics work by preventing nerves in a specific section of your body from delivering signals to your brain. After a local anaesthetic, you won't be able to feel any pain, however you may feel some pressure or movement. It usually only takes a few minutes for the area where a local anaesthetic is administered to lose sensation. After the drug has worn off for a few hours, full sensation should return.
