Zensa Numbing Cream

Clean & Apply
• Take a hot shower or clean the area with an alcohol swab. Apply a half-inch thick layer of numbing cream, do not rub it into the skin.

Seal
• Cover the area with cling wrap (such as Press'n Seal) to support fast absorption. Leave numbing cream on for 30-45 minutes for tattoos and hair removal, 15-25 minutes for permanent makeup and 10 minutes for injections.
• Covering Zensa Numbing Cream is not always necessary, especially in areas of the skin like the face, lips, and Brazilian area. However, when you do cover Zensa, it is more easily absorbed.

Remove
• Remove wrap and gently dab away (don't wipe) excess cream before beginning the procedure.

Extras
• When applied correctly, Zensa Numbing Cream can provide effective numbing for 2-3 hours.
• If you wish to speed up the numbing there are a few additional tactics to incorporate: Additional exfoliation of the area will allow the cream to penetrate the skin more easily. Applying a thicker layer of Zensa or leaving it on for longer will increase numbing. You can also put a hot wet towel on top of the wrapped area, as the heat and moisture will open the pores up, allowing for better absorption.

• Zensa Numbing Cream is the most natural numbing cream on the market, containing a total of only 7 carefully sourced ingredients.
• Unlike most other topical anaesthetics, Zensa Numbing Cream is water-based, so it doesn’t leave a greasy residue or leave skin feeling rubbery like oil-based formulas do. It also contains Vitamin E to help promote healing and it’s vegan and cruelty-free.
• Zensa Numbing Cream uses maximum strength of 5% Lidocaine, the highest percentage available without a prescription.
• The #1 myth when it comes to numbing creams is that the higher the percentage, the stronger the numbing will be.
• Numbing creams that are a higher percentage of active ingredients and are formulated poorly, do not fully absorb, rendering them ineffective.
• Numbing creams with higher percentages also increase the risk of adverse effects such as breaking out into hives, inflammation, redness and swelling, heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
• Lidocaine is the active numbing ingredient in Zensa Numbing Cream. Lidocaine is the least toxic caine available and is a nonvasoconstrictor meaning it will not affect ink settling. Lidocaine also works the quickest and provides the strongest numbing sensation.
