Luckily there are now many products the permanent makeup technician can use that will reduce the pain of any and all procedures. One way is the use of Deep Numb - Topical Anesthetics.
This anesthetic cream (Deep Numb) is a product very much similar to Dr. Numb, which contains lidocaine, a substance that has been used for many years as anesthetics in medical and dental offices. The purity is very important, because not all lidocaine is manufactured and refined as Dr. Numb and Deep Numb has been. Pain is caused by the stimulation of pain receptors at the ends of the nerves. The stimulation causes sodium to enter the nerve ending, which causes an electrical signal to build up in the nerve. When this electrical signal is big enough, it passes along the nerve to the brain, where the signal is interpreted as pain. These creams work by temporarily blocking this pathway of pain signals along nerves. They do this by stopping the sodium entering the nerve ending at the site of the pain. This prevents an electrical signal building up and passing along the nerve fibers to the brain.
Misuse of topical anesthetics can sometimes result in harm. One good example of this is situations where these products are used excessively to relieve eye pain. This overuse can cause permanent damage to the eye. Adverse effects may also be experienced when certain products are used on damaged skin.
