Possible to Use Numbing Cream During Laser Tattoo Removal?

Hello, Great Question! You can absolutely use topical or injectable numbing for tattoo removal. Injectable numbing by far works better than topical numbing. Topical numbing can only soak into your skin so far and only give you so much numbing effect. I have seen much better results and compliance with injectable numbing. It requires a few pokes with a needle, but the laser sensation is minimized by 90% or more.

It is possible to use a
topical numbing agent before tattoo removal treatments. However, most patients
do not feel a significant difference when doing so. Numbing creams only numb
the surface of the skin whereas the tattoo laser reaches a much deeper layer of
skin.
