Sustaine Blue Gel is an American secondary liquid anesthetic. It is applied during the procedure on broken skin, when the primary cream stops working. The formula combines lidocaine 4%, tetracaine 2% and epinephrine: the latter constricts the blood vessels, so the effect sets in quickly. Readiness of the area is shown by a white spot that appears on the treated site.
