- <p><strong>2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION</strong><br>
<strong>2.1 General Dosing Information</strong><br>
<strong>PLIAGLIS Cream should only be applied to intact skin.</strong><br>
<strong>For use in adults only.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>For superficial dermatological procedures such as dermal filler injection, non-ablative laser facial resurfacing, or pulsed-dye laser therapy, apply PLIAGLIS Cream to intact skin for 20–30 minutes prior to the procedure. See Table 1 for instructions on the amount to apply.</li>
<li>For superficial dermatological procedures such as laser-assisted tattoo removal, apply PLIAGLIS Cream to intact skin for 60 minutes prior to the procedure. See Table 1 for instructions on the amount to apply.</li>
</ul>
<p>The dose of PLIAGLIS Cream that provides effective local dermal analgesia depends on the duration of the application. Although not specifically studied, a shorter duration of application may result in a less complete dermal analgesia or a shorter duration of adequate dermal analgesia.</p>
<p><strong>2.2 Dosage Information</strong><br>
<strong>Determine the amount of drug to apply.</strong><br>
The amount (length) of PLIAGLIS Cream that should be dispensed is determined by the size of the area to be treated (see Table 1).</p>
<ol class="alpha-enclosed">
<li>Squeeze out and measure the amount of PLIAGLIS Cream that approximates the amount required to achieve proper coverage.</li>
<li>Spread PLIAGLIS Cream evenly and thinly (approximately 1 mm or the thickness of a dime) across the treatment area using a flat-surfaced tool such as a metal spatula or tongue depressor.</li>
<li>After waiting the required application time, remove the PLIAGLIS Cream by grasping a free-edge with your fingers and pulling it away from the skin.</li>
