DeepNumb will work as advertised when applied according to the application provided.

1. Wash the area receiving tattoo or laser treatment with soap and water. Dry area completely.
2. Apply a thick amount of numbing cream to the area and rub in thoroughly.
3. After rubbing into the skin, apply a 2nd heavy layer of cream (1/8" or 3-5 mm thick) over the area.
4. Cover the cream with plastic wrap (saran wrap) and keep warm. The heat under the plastic wrap helps activate the cream and keeps the cream from drying out.
5. Leave cream and wrap in place for 2 hours before procedure. For long procedures lasting hours over large areas; apply numbing cream over the entire work area, then remove in sections as procedure progresses.
6. Skin typically remains numb for 1 - 4 hours once cream is removed from numbed skin depending on skin type and location on body.

Lidocaine cream works by temporarily blocking the pathway of pain signals along nerves. Lidocaine cream does 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. 

Lidocaine may be absorbed following topical administration to mucus membranes, its rate and extent of absorption depends upon the specific site of application, duration or exposure, concentration and the total dosage. You may experience reddening of the procedure area. 

Possible side effects are likely to include swelling or redness at the application site, unusual sensations on skin or pale skin. Severe to rare side effects may include allergic reactions like hives, rash, itchiness, facial swelling, and difficulty breathing or tightness in the chest. 

Medicines affect different people in different ways. If you experience any unusual effects while using, stop and contact you medical provider immediately. Treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
