This patient came in with numbing cream applied properly. Most people apply incorrectly and the cream becomes completely ineffective..
With numbing cream, laser tattoo removal is a breeze as this client barely felt anything during the session and makes it much easier to adjust settings as needed without worrying about the comfort of the client.
The best way to apply numbing cream is to get a good brand (reach out to us for recommendations) and apply a thick layer over your tattoo at least 1 hour before your appointment. Then wrap that area with Saran wrap to lock in the cream and make sure it doesn't dry out. Come into your session with it wrapped and the laser technician will remove it and get you ready for your session.
It's a little extra work but it goes a long way and makes tattoo removal a much more enjoyable experience.
