Medi-First Cold Spray Skin Refrigerant Isobutane/Propane Spray, 4 oz.

Ice cold. Works great.

Help has finally arrived. This product removes the fear of injections. Wish I had found it years ago.

Yes, it does bleach your skin (over time.) They all do (eventually.) It also serves its purpose. Know what you're buying. I use it to reduce or eliminate the pain of needle punctures for dialysis. (It works)

Painless injections, but be careful. Two to three sprays is enough. Will definitely be purchasing again .

I had started dialysis due to kidney failure and in the beginning when they stick the needles it can be painful for some. The doctors can prescribe lidocaine cream (numbing cream) but it can be a bit messy and is difficult to wrap plastic around the area. So with this spray you can have a lot more ease. The dialysis tech will spray the area and iit will get cold and sting a little but it feels less painful then without it. Please keep in mind this spray was used to hust get used to getting stuck by the needles. The doctors dont reccomend the spray for long term use because it will dry put your skin. I only reccomend this for just easing yourself with dialysis.

This spray will definitely chill the area of skin you intend to chill. Once you've chilled the skin for a few seconds you will be unlikely to feel the syringe being injected into the skin. That's the good news. The bad news is that it chills so much that the chilling itself probably feels worse than being poked by the needle. It's quite a shock when this cold spray hits the skin and it's easy to overspray your skin and possibly get a frostbite type of condition. But even if you do it properly I think it feels about as bad as a the needle puncture you are trying to numb. So I will stick to using an ice cube wrapped in a thin napkin (to absorb the water as it melts and to protect the skin). This numbs the skin without any pain. It just takes a minute longer than using a spray. So the spray works as advertised, but you may not feel that it's a good trade-off. One other problem is that some of the spray seems to hit the finger you use to press the nozzle, so your finger gets chilled at the same time. This can also be rather uncomfortable.

I love love love love this product! I started using it in 2010 when my son was in martial arts was injured. It was just like putting ice on it. It's easy to put into a sports bag and take with you and use it you have sprains muscle aches or any swelling. Then I was in an accident and had back surgery. Ice was the only thing that really actually helps. It's obviously not ideal to carry around ice bags with you all the time so I carry this around with me and when I am extra sore I can use it anywhere I am.

This spray is inexpensive and performs well, works fast like using ice to relieve pain, this works faster and is much colder than ice but temporally relieves aches and pains better when needed. It’s only 4 ozs. but not much is needed to be effective. I only use it once in a while and am ordering more to make sure I have it on hand when I need it. Spray is very cold and should be used carefully so as not to cause damage . That said this is an excellent product for temporary relief of pains and aches .
