TKTX Numbing Cream – Directions for Use and Safety Information.
Product Overview
TKTX Numbing Cream is a topical anesthetic cream intended to help reduce discomfort associated with cosmetic and dermatological procedures. It is commonly used before tattoos, laser treatments, permanent makeup procedures, microneedling, waxing, and similar treatments.
Directions for Use.
1. Prepare the Skin:Wash the treatment area thoroughly with soap and water to remove oils, dirt, and cosmetic products. Dry the skin completely before application.
2. Warm the Area:
Apply a warm towel to the treatment area for approximately 5 minutes. This helps prepare the skin for application. Dry the area thoroughly after warming.
3. Apply the First Layer:
Apply a generous layer of TKTX Numbing Cream to the treatment area and massage it into the skin.
4. Apply the Second Layer:
After the first layer has been absorbed, apply a second thick layer of cream approximately 2–3 mm thick over the entire treatment area.
5. Cover with Plastic Wrap:
Cover the cream with plastic wrap or cling film. The wrap helps prevent the cream from drying out and assists with absorption.
6. Allow Time for Activation:
Leave the cream under the plastic wrap for approximately 60-90 minutes before the procedure begins.
For larger treatment areas or longer procedures, the cream may be removed in sections as treatment progresses.
7. Remove Before Treatment:
Immediately before the procedure, remove the plastic wrap and thoroughly wipe away all remaining cream.
Expected Duration
The numbing effect typically lasts between 3 and 5 hours after removal of the cream. Individual results may vary depending on skin type, treatment area, application method, and personal sensitivity.
How It Works
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that temporarily reduces the transmission of pain signals by blocking nerve activity in the treated area. This helps decrease discomfort during cosmetic and dermatological procedures.
