TKTX produces some of the world's finest numbing cream that provides temporary relief from pain and itching before tattoos, cosmetic procedures, laser hair removal, medical and other related procedures. How to Use TKTX: Wash the area receiving tattoo or laser treatment with soap and water. Cover with a hot towel on skin for 5 minutes then dry the area completely. Apply a thick amount of TKTX numbing cream to the area and rub in thoroughly. After rubbing into the skin, apply a 2nd heavy layer of TKTX cream (1/8" or 2-3 mm thick) over the area. Cover the TKTX cream with plastic wrap (i.e. glad wrap) and keep warm. The heat under the plastic wrap helps activate the cream and keeps the cream from drying out. Leave TKTX cream and wrap in place for 50-70 minutes before starting your tattoo. For long procedures lasting hours over large areas; apply numbing cream over the entire work area, then remove in sections as procedure progresses. Skin typically remains numb for 3-5 hours once cream is removed from numbed skin depending on skin type and location on body. To ensure maximum numbing, avoid alcohol within 24 hours of tattooing, or the numbing may not be as effective or long-lasting. Always spot test the day before your procedure on a small area of skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. Leave on for 20-30 mins on a spot test area to ensure that your skin doesn't become inflamed or react unexpectedly. Please note that minor localised redness is considered normal. Warning: For external use only. Do not ingest or use inside your mouth or on your tongue. Avoid cream into eyes and keep out of reach children. Cap tightly when not in use and store above 0°C and below 30°C. Net weight: 10g.
