What Numbing Is Best for Microblading?

1. What Types of Numbing Agents Are Commonly Used in Microblading?

The most common numbing agents used in microblading are topical anesthetic creams and gels containing lidocaine, tetracaine, or a combination of both. Lidocaine offers fast-acting numbing, while tetracaine provides longer-lasting effects. Some professionals use a blend of lidocaine, tetracaine, and epinephrine to minimize bleeding and prolong numbing.

2. How Effective Are Topical Numbing Creams for Microblading?

Topical anesthetics are generally effective in reducing discomfort during microblading but effectiveness varies by concentration and skin type. Typically, creams like Emla (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) or other professional formulations achieve satisfactory numbness within 20-30 minutes of application.

3. Are There Any Safety Concerns When Using Numbing Agents for Microblading?

Yes, safety is paramount. It is important to use numbing agents approved for cosmetic use and avoid those with high systemic toxicity. Overuse can lead to skin irritation or rare allergic reactions. Always conduct a patch test beforehand and consult with a licensed professional. Avoid using anything not intended for cosmetic procedures.

4. How Should Numbing Products Be Applied During Microblading?

Professionals usually apply a thick layer of the numbing cream onto clean skin before the procedure, covered with plastic wrap to enhance absorption. After 20-30 minutes, the cream is removed prior to microblading. Some artists reapply a small amount during the procedure if necessary to maintain client comfort.

5. Can Numbing Affect the Healing or Pigment Retention in Microblading?

Generally, proper use of topical anesthetics does not negatively affect healing or pigment retention. However, excessive application or the use of anesthetics with vasoconstrictors could theoretically impact blood flow, so it's important to follow recommended usage guidelines. Using professional-grade products and following aftercare advice helps ensure optimal results.

Tattoo ink
Will the pigments turn red, orange, blue, or purple when deposited into the skin?

They won't. Because we use high-quality ingredients and focus on color balance, lightfastness, and pigment concentration, our shades only lighten slightly as they heal. They will never change color.

Payment
What is your order deposit policy?

Normally, we advocate 100% prepayment to ensure transaction efficiency and the interests of both parties. However, in response to your concerns during the transaction, we also provide a flexible deposit payment policy with a deposit ratio between 30% and 50%. Specifically, for standard goods orders, the deposit ratio is 30%; for customized orders, the deposit ratio is 50% to ensure the smooth progress of the customization process and the balance of interests of both parties.
