Zensa Numbing Cream is a professional, maximum-strength 5% Lidocaine topical anesthetic ideal for pre-numbing before permanent makeup, microblading, cosmetic tattoo, and tattoo procedures.
One of our favorite pre-numbing creams for lips, eyeliner, and eyebrows, Zensa features a pH-balanced, water-based formula designed for sensitive treatment areas while helping keep clients comfortable throughout their procedure.
Excellent Pre-Numbing Cream for Permanent Makeup
Zensa is an excellent choice for pre-numbing before:
Maximum Strength 5% Lidocaine
Zensa contains 5% Lidocaine to temporarily relieve pain and discomfort during cosmetic and aesthetic procedures.
When applied as directed, the numbing effect can last approximately 2–3 hours, making it an excellent choice for longer permanent makeup and tattoo procedures.
No Vasoconstrictors – Designed Not to Interfere With Ink
One of the biggest advantages of Zensa for permanent makeup and tattoo artists is its vasoconstrictor-free formula.
Zensa is formulated without vasoconstrictors that can interfere with the way pigment or tattoo ink settles into the skin, making it especially well suited for microblading, lip blush, permanent eyebrows, eyeliner, and cosmetic tattoo procedures.
Its water-based formula also helps maintain the skin's natural texture and pliability during precision work.
pH-Balanced for Sensitive Areas
Zensa's pH-balanced formula makes it suitable for sensitive treatment areas, including the lips and skin around the eyes.
This makes Zensa one of our preferred pre-numbing anesthetics for permanent lips, eyeliner, and eyebrows.
Important: Zensa should never be placed directly in the eye. Avoid eye contact and always follow the manufacturer's application instructions.
Primary + Secondary Numbing
Zensa is extremely versatile because it can be used as a pre-numbing anesthetic before the procedure and, when used according to manufacturer directions, can also be reapplied to broken skin during the procedure to extend the numbing sensation.
For permanent makeup, the manufacturer recommends applying a thick layer before treatment and allowing approximately 15–25 minutes for activation.
When used as secondary numbing on opened skin, Zensa can begin working much faster.
