If you’re planning a tattoo, piercing, or laser treatment, one of the most common questions you might have is: How long does tattoo numbing cream last?
At TKTX Tattoo, we specialise in high-performance numbing creams designed to take the edge off even the most intense procedures, so you can sit back, relax, and let the artist do their thing.
As the only certified UK distributor of authentic TKTX numbing creams, we’ve helped thousands of customers enjoy a painless tattoo experience, and we’re here to answer all your numbing-related questions.
How Long Does TKTX Tattoo Numbing Cream Last?
TKTX numbing cream typically provides 2 to 5 hours of effective numbing, depending on the formula used, how it’s applied, and your individual skin type.
Our Deep Numbing Cream is ideal for tattoos, piercings, and laser removal, offering a longer-lasting numbing effect, up to 5 hours in many cases.
For quicker, less invasive treatments like aesthetics, waxing, or microblading, our Fast Numbing Cream offers powerful results for 2 to 3 hours.
Factors that can affect how long your numbing cream lasts include:
- Skin type and thickness
- Length of application time before treatment
- How well the area was prepped and wrapped
- The area of the body being treated
How to Get the Best Results
To maximise how long TKTX numbing cream lasts, make sure you:
- Apply it to clean, dry skin
- Use a thick layer (2–3mm)
- Wrap the area in cling film for 45–60 minutes before treatment
- Remove the wrap just before your session starts
Following these steps helps the cream penetrate deeply, manipulate nerve endings, and fully activate the numbing effect, giving you a smoother and pain-free experience.
