How Long Does Secondary Numbing Essence Take to Become Effective?

In the semi permanent makeup industry, secondary numbing essence is widely used to help clients manage pain during procedures such as microblading, permanent eyeliner, and lip tattooing. Understanding the onset time of these numbing agents is critical for professionals to ensure client comfort and procedural efficiency.

1. What is the typical onset time for secondary numbing essence?

Secondary numbing essence usually takes between 5 to 10 minutes to become effective. This timing depends on the formulation of the product, skin type, and application area. Products containing lidocaine or similar anesthetic compounds require sufficient time for skin absorption to provide adequate numbness.

2. How should secondary numbing essence be applied for optimal results?

To maximize effectiveness, the numbing essence should be applied to clean, slightly dampened skin. It is often recommended to apply a thick layer and cover the area with plastic wrap to enhance absorption and reduce evaporation. Professionals should wait the full recommended duration (typically 5-10 minutes) before starting the procedure.

3. Are there any factors that can affect the efficacy of secondary numbing essence?

Yes, several factors influence the effectiveness:

  • Skin condition: Thick or oily skin may reduce absorption rate.
  • Product strength: Higher lidocaine concentrations work faster but require careful use.
  • Application method: Proper coverage and using occlusive techniques speed numbing.
  • Individual sensitivity: Patients' skin sensitivity varies, affecting onset time.

4. How long does the numbing effect last?

The numbing effect from secondary numbing essence typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the product formulation and skin metabolism of the client. Reapplication may be necessary for longer procedures.

5. What precautions should semi permanent makeup artists take when using secondary numbing essence?

Professionals must ensure clients do not have allergies to numbing agents (e.g., lidocaine or benzocaine). Patch testing is encouraged prior to use. Additionally, adhering to maximum safe dosage limits and following manufacturer instructions are essential to avoid toxicity or adverse reactions.

By understanding these key points, semi permanent makeup artists can effectively use secondary numbing essence to improve client comfort and achieve optimal procedural outcomes.

FAQ
Super Essence
Which is better, numbing cream or numbing essence?

In terms of penetration speed, numbing essence penetrates the skin faster than numbing cream and takes effect faster, but it has higher requirements for the operator and needs to avoid the numbing liquid from flowing into the eyes. For new beginners and eyeliner tattoo treatment, we recommend using numbing cream.

Does the perming lotion contain the ingredient “Cysteamine” ?

Yes, some formulas contain the ingredient “Cysteamine”, then some contain the ingredient “Thioglycolic acid”. The active ingredient of the perming lotion is a reducing agent, which acts to break the disulfide bonds in the eyelash. Commonly used reducing agents are Thioglycolic acid and Cysteamine. Compare to Cysteamine, Thioglycolic acid has a strong reducing power.
