The numbing cream is extremely powerful so it needs to be applied correctly to enjoy maximum benefit. Follow these simple instructions:
Preparation
Before applying the tattoo numbing cream to your skin:
- Use hot water and soap to wash the area of skin you want to numb.
- Make sure that any grime and dirt have been thoroughly removed.
- Once you have cleaned the skin completely, cover it up with a clean towel.
- Hold the towel firmly in place for five minutes. This will increase the temperature of your skin and open up the pores so that the anaesthetic cream can penetrate the surface of your skin more rapidly and efficiently.
Application
- Put on a pair of latex gloves so your hands don’t become numb from the product application.
- Apply a layer of cream to the area of skin that you need to desensitise.
- Gently, rub the cream into the skin with your gloved hands until the cream begins to be absorbed into the surface.
- Apply a thicker second layer of the cream onto the skin. Make sure this layer is around 1/8” in thickness.
- Once the area of skin is completely covered in two layers of the tattoo numbing cream, cover it up with some plastic wrap. This will increase the temperature of the cream and help it to activate more rapidly.
- Leave the cream and plastic wrap on your skin for around 90 - 120 minutes. You should notice that your skin begins to desensitise during this time. Once the full period of time has elapsed you skin should be numb and desensitised to pain.
- Remove the plastic wrap then wipe away the cream with a clean cloth.
