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.

How do I choose the right silicone perm rod?

We recommend that you choose the right silicone perm rod based on the length of your eyelashes and the shape of your eyes. Here are some tips for choosing silicone perm rod:

- Short eyelashes 4-6mm: S for curling, M for natural curling, and M1 for slight curling.

- Medium and long eyelashes 6-8mm: M for curling, M1 for natural curling, M2 for slight curling.

- Long eyelashes 8-10mm: M1 for curling, M2 for natural curling, L for slight curling.

- Extra long eyelashes 10-12mm: M2 for curling, L for natural curling

Pigment Ink
Are these pigments safe for human body ?

Yes, absolutely safe, we go through layers of screening and rigorous testing of every ingredient to ensure that it is non-toxic and harmless. Our pigments are CE and REACH certified and comply with EU regulations.

How long is your production time ?

For general orders, we usually complete production in 7-10 days after you confirm the order details and process the deposit. For bulk orders, the production time may be extended to 20-30 days.

Glue
With this very sticky glue, will the lashes fall off when I use the perm lotion?

Our glue is very sticky and after drying it holds the lashes very firmly to the lash silicone perm rod. Although our glue is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned with water, since there is not much water in the perm lotion, there is not enough water in it to dissolve the glue, so there is no chance that the lashes will not stick to the silicone perm rod and fall off after using the perm lotion. The same goes for Neutralizers too.
