Question

Hi, What % if Lidocaine is used for SMP?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Overdosing or over use of lidocaine can lead to death.  It is best to discuss your question with your doctor.

Usually, topical Liodcaine HCL 4% foam  is good enough to numb the scalp for Scalp Micro Pigmentation procedures. But if you are looking for something stronger,  Lidocaine 2% with Epinephrine can be injected superficially to the scalp.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

I always use 0.5% Xylocaine mixed with 0.25% Marcaine and place it superficially as the SMP doesn't require deep anesthesia
