2025-06-10

Explore the primary role of secondary numbing essence in permanent makeup, including its benefits, application timing, safety, and effects on client comfort. Essential guide by QM Makeup.

What is the main function of secondary numbing essence during permanent makeup procedures?

Secondary numbing essence is a topical anesthetic applied during permanent makeup procedures to manage pain and increase client comfort. Its main function is to reduce discomfort after the initial numbing agent begins to wear off during the treatment process. This helps maintain a pain-free experience throughout the session and allows for more precise pigment implantation.

Why is secondary numbing essence important in permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup treatments can last from 1 to 3 hours, during which skin sensitivity can increase. Primary numbing agents often lose effectiveness over time; the secondary numbing essence refreshes anesthesia, minimizing pain spikes, reducing muscle movement from discomfort, and ensuring smoother application.

When should secondary numbing essence be applied during the procedure?

Typically, secondary numbing essence is applied after the initial pigment implantation, once the numbing effect of the first anesthetic diminishes, commonly 30 to 60 minutes into the procedure. This timing allows continuous pain control without interfering with pigment retention.

Is secondary numbing essence safe for all clients?

Yes, when used following manufacturer guidelines and patch-tested for allergies, secondary numbing essence is safe. Most numbing agents contain lidocaine or similar active ingredients approved for cosmetic use, but clients with sensitivities or allergies to topical anesthetics should notify technicians.

How does secondary numbing essence affect pigment retention and healing?

Proper use of secondary numbing essence does not negatively impact pigment retention or skin healing. It allows the technician to work more precisely without causing unnecessary trauma to the skin through frequent breaks or rough movements, facilitating optimal healing.

Can secondary numbing essence be used in combination with other anesthetics?

Yes, secondary numbing essence is designed to complement primary topical anesthetics. It is often part of a layered pain management strategy ensuring lasting numbness without exceeding safe dosage limits of active ingredients.

Blade

How to use microblading needle? Is finest blade the best needles for microblading?

Choosing the thickness of a microblade depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the level of detail required and the individual's tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:

Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoos: finer lines and details can often be achieved with finer needles (e.g. 0.16mm or 0.18mm).

Filling and shading: slightly thicker needles (e.g. 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required for better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.

Individual tattooing techniques: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize manipulation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more varied results.

Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skins can also affect needle selection. Thicker skin may require a slightly thicker needle to ensure that the color and lines penetrate effectively.

Hair condition: The thickness of the client's native hair is also an important factor in choosing the thickness of the needles. Thicker hairs will require slightly thicker needles to ensure that the lines are consistent with the native hairs.
