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.

How do I make brow lamination tint?

1. Clean eyebrows: Use warm water and facial cleansing products to clean eyebrows and surrounding skin, making sure there are no impurities and oils.

2. Shape eyebrows: Use eyebrow scissors to trim the length and shape of eyebrows as needed

3. Apply skin care oil: Apply skin care oil to the skin around eyebrows to prevent dye from getting on the skin and facilitate cleaning.

4. Mix dye: Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.

5. Apply dye: Use a small brush to apply eye brow dye evenly on eyebrows, from the beginning to the end of eyebrows, and pay attention to control the amount to avoid applying it on the skin. Wait for the appropriate time (usually 5-10 minutes) to allow the eyebrow dye to fully color.

6. Wash: Use warm water and paper towels to gently wash the dye off, and be careful not to rub the eyebrows hard.

Follow-up care

1. Avoid water washing: Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after dyeing to ensure that the color lasts.

2. Regularly touch up the color: Depending on the growth rate of the eyebrows and the fading of the color, you can touch up the color every 4-6 weeks.
