TKTX USA application guide
Follow these TKTX USA instructions carefully for the strongest, longest-lasting numb. Clean skin, generous layers, and airtight cling wrap are the key to best results.
Use this TKTX USA checklist before your tattoo or cosmetic procedure.
Before application, the area must be free of body hair, make-up, moisturizer, fake tan, and must be adequately cleaned and exfoliated.
After cleaning and exfoliating, gently dry the area with a clean towel to avoid irritation.
Apply the first layer generously, thoroughly massaging into the skin, then allow it to absorb for approximately 1–2 minutes. Repeat this step for maximum numbing effects.
After the second layer, apply a third layer approximately 1–2 mm thick.
After applying the third layer, wrap the area in plastic cling wrap or film.
Leave the cling wrap over the cream for a minimum of 50–60 minutes before your appointment. It is fine to leave it longer for lengthy procedures or large areas.
Numbing effects can last between 3–10 hours, depending on the amount applied, proper application, age, skin type, and other factors. Results may vary from person to person.
