Generally, a local or topical anesthetic is applied to the site to ensure comfort. The needles for micropigmentation will reciprocate rapidly in and out of the skin. With topical anesthesia, you should feel little more than a slight vibration. Without anesthesia, you should feel little more than a slight "plucking" sensation.

Procedures involving the eyes and lips generally take about an hour. More complicated procedures may take longer.

PRE-NUMBING Topical Anesthetic

BioQuick

A pre-numbing agent and the first anesthetic used before the procedure. Make sure the area is clean and your guideline is on. There are two ways to apply

1. Apply BioQuick to the procedure area and wait 15 to 20 minutes. Wipe off and dry, then draw your guideline. Begin procedure. (Recommended only if you are able to draw your guideline within 5 minutes)

2. Draw your guideline first. Apply BioQuick around the guide, not on it. This will prevent you from having to go back and redraw on the procedure area. Wait about 15 to 20 minutes, blot and dry before proceeding to any pigmentation procedures. After the 20 minutes, begin the procedure. May be used on eyebrows, eyeliner and lips. BioQuick is a cream base, and can be applied with a sterilized Q-tip or cotton swab.

BioQuick is safe for use on all areas. It is the first anesthetic to use after the area is cleaned. Apply with a sterilized cotton swab. Lidocaine 4%, Weight: .08 lb
